Exploring the Craft of the Educator: Reflections on the Winter 2016 IFDS in B...CIEE
During this session, panelists will share reflections on the outcomes of a winter CIEE International Faculty Development Seminar (IFDS) in Buenos Aires, the first IFDS to focus on the intersection of intercultural learning and language learning. While participants learned how to design activities to help language students learn and grow through intercultural experiences, the distinctive design of the seminar allowed participants to also focus on their own intercultural development and gain a deeper, more holistic understanding of the intercultural learning process. Participants of this session will learn how this IFDS accomplished its goals, as well as how three IFDS participants designed takeaways that are helping them to incorporate intercultural learning in the design of their own and their colleagues’ study abroad programs and their on-campus curricular and co-curricular programming.
