Intercultural communication refers to communication between people of different cultural backgrounds. It involves the exchange of messages across languages and cultures. Sometimes intercultural communication flows smoothly, but it can also be disrupted by cultural differences, such as differing norms for nonverbal communication like gestures and interpretations of silence. Understanding cultural variations in communication is important for successful intercultural interaction, which requires skills like foreign language ability, cultural knowledge, and a willingness to accept differences.

CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE RESEARCH MIDTERM PAPER
This week you will be writing a cultural topic response paper after watching a TED talk with Jason Pontin entitled, “Can Technology Solve our Big Problems?”
After watching this video, I would like you to envision how technology can solve our biggest problems today? How has technology assisted or not assisted in some of our most significant global issues? Can technology have anything to do with the change in our cultural relations, our difference in beliefs, our diverse cultural perspectives? Do you think technology has a way of helping to change (good or bad) of those things?
Using any outside research or textbook readings along with your reflection, combine it all into a Culturally Responsive Research paper with a minimum of 1000 words. Give it your selected title. Include a source citation at the end of the article. The report must be written in MLA format. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html
Within the paper, these multicultural points must be discussed or able to be recognized in your research. Please do not break these points out into sections; the intent is to locate them within the writings. See the rubric for guidance.
· Knowledge of cultural, economic, social, political, or racial diversities in the United States or worldwide.
· Methods of inquiry of the natural sciences, social sciences, or the arts and humanities to understand cultural, economic, social, or racial diversity.
· Show an understanding of contemporary social or ethical issues related to diversity.
· Relate skills required to engage in an informed and respectful way with diverse people, cultures, and histories.

Cultural self- awareness
Articulates insights into own cultural rules and biases (e.g. seeking complexity; aware of how her/his experiences have shaped these rules, and how to recognize and respond to cultural biases, resulting in a shift in self-description.)
Recognizes new perspectives about own cultural rules and biases (e.g. not looking for sameness; comfortable with the complexities that new perspectives offer.)
Identifies own cultural rules and biases (e.g. with a strong preference for those rules shared with own cultural group and seeks the same in others.)
Shows minimal awareness of own cultural rules and biases (even those shared with own cultural group(s)) (e.g. uncomfortable with identifying possible cultural differences with others.)

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Moreover, this side of communication can also be
seen as a bargained understanding of human
experiences across diverse societies. Simply put,
intercultural communication is the sending and
receiving of messages across languages and
cultures
Sometimes, intercultural communication can flow
smoothly and become very interesting for a cross-
cultural group. However, things may not go as planned
when communication is disrupted by cultural collision

Presentation Title 5
When you speak, your speech is continuously accompanied by
gestures, facial expressions, and other body movements that
add to what you are saying in different ways. For example,
nodding means “yes” in the Indian subcontinent, Iran, most of
Europe, Latin America, and North America. However, in Greece,
Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and
Albania, nodding indicates disagreement. Moreover, in the case
of Japanese culture, silence as a form of communication is more
integrated in their customs than in Western languages. It is
therefore important for you to acknowledge and understand the
many communication patterns present in other cultures

The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity
The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) offers a
structure that explores how people experience cultural differences.
According to Bennett and Bennett (2004), it has six stage.

Presentation Title 9
Once you understand these stages, you may apply it to
1) recognize communication behaviors which differ from your own,
2) take into account what can influence these types of behaviors,
3) try to analyze how linguistic and cultural communities differ in
terms of communication behavior and influencing factors (Allwood,
1985).

• good language skills
• understanding of different cultures
(customs & standards)
• willingness to accept differences
• understanding of how culture
can affect communication and language
e.g. Scandinavians in the UK have reported causing
offense to English people by failing to say “Please” and
“Please” and “Thank you” enough.
Intercultural Communication

Presentation Title 11
Some useful starting points:
1. Be willing to meet others at least halfway by
learning a few phrases in their language.
(‘Good morning’, ‘good evening’, and
‘thank you’, will go a long way- Use the internet)
If you talk to a man in a language he
understands, that goes to his head. If you talk
to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
12. 9/3/20XX
Presentation Title 12
2. Adapt your behavior, and don’t always
expect others to adapt to you.
• includes not being offended if someone
unwittingly does something that you find
difficult to accept
• You don’t have to accept it, but it’s best to
explain politely why you find it hard to
understand.
13. 9/3/20XX
Presentation Title 13
3. Listen and observe.
•U S American culture - a lot of emphasis placed on
the value of speaking and voicing your opinion but
not as much value is placed on observing and
listening.
•You can gain much if you are willing to listen more
and to watch how others communicate.
e.g. How do your international colleagues
nonverbally? How close do they stand to the people
people they are talking with? etc.

POLITICALLY CORRECT LANGUAGE.
Modern millennials often talk of politically correct language. Politically
correct language is a civilized and culture-sensitive form of expression
using a language that polite members of societies prefer using when
talking about certain sensitive issues and designations.
Politically correct language is believed to be a civilized and sensitive
use of terms that avoid offensive connotations prejudicial to the
reputation on any social sectors
Example : People living in public lands with no titles to their habituated
lots are now called informal settlers, and no longer squatters
