Sociocultural factors (1)
This document discusses several sociocultural factors that influence language acquisition, including culture, attitudes, social distance between cultures, and the relationship between language and thought. It addresses how stereotypes form from our cultural environment, the stages of acquiring a second culture, and parameters of social distance between cultures like dominance, integration, and congruence of beliefs. The document also suggests teachers should be sensitive to different cultural perspectives and promote understanding between cultures in the classroom.
Our Intracultural Selves
The document discusses developing an understanding of students' cultural backgrounds and perspectives. It provides questions for teachers to reflect on their own cultural awareness and knowledge of students' cultures and identities. Suggestions are also given for classroom activities that can help teachers learn about students' lives and cultures, such as sharing traditional food, counting in other languages, discussing daily routines, and showing culturally significant items.

This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 3 on working with culturally and linguistically diverse groups. It defines important terms like identity, culture, and diversity. It discusses the importance of examining one's own cultural identity and representing all cultures in the classroom. Theories on second language acquisition, like Krashen's Monitor Model, are outlined. The document also discusses culturally relevant pedagogy, antibias education, and best practices for communicating with diverse families and communities.
Socio cultural issues
The document discusses socio-cultural issues related to differences between males and females. It notes that while intelligence is equal between sexes, there are some average abilities differences such as males showing superiority in spatial skills and females in verbal abilities and memory. However, in terms of scholastic aptitude there is little overall difference. Socio-economic factors like poverty, child marriage, and exploitation can negatively impact girls' mental development and access to education. Differences also emerge with age and are influenced by environmental and regional factors.
Pidginization, Attitudes and Culture in the Classroom
This document discusses several topics related to language learning and culture, including pidginization, attitudes in language learning, teaching culture in the classroom, and conceptual categories of culture.

Sociocultural Factors

It emphasizes the importance for language teachers to be sensitive to cultural differences and promote cultural understanding.
culture of english
Culture is defined by anthropologists and sociologists as the shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, world view, and basic premises that are learned and transmitted by a group of people. It includes tangible things like customs and artifacts as well as intangible things like values and beliefs. Culture acts as the "collective programming of the mind" that distinguishes members of one group from another and allows human groups to adapt and cope with their surrounding environment. It is shared knowledge that is learned and passed down through generations. Culture is important because it forms the basis for human social interaction and bonds people within a society together through shared values and practices.

Sonali pradhan
Sonali Pradhan presented a seminar on the role of education in promoting unity in diversity. The seminar discussed key concepts such as:
1) Unity in diversity values understanding differences and sees them as enriching interactions rather than just tolerating them. It promotes learning skills and values for students.
2) Components of unity in diversity include multiculturalism, multilingualism, and equity.
3) Multicultural education aims to provide equal access and opportunities for all students regardless of their backgrounds. It incorporates diverse cultures and perspectives into the curriculum.
The integration of multicultural education
Multicultural education teaches about multiple cultures rather than just the dominant culture. It benefits students by making them better rounded, helping them value other cultures, and reducing racism and prejudice. Integrating multicultural education prepares students for today's diverse world. However, teachers often lack time or motivation to create new multicultural lesson plans. Support from others could encourage teachers to integrate multicultural education.
CULTURE IN TEACHING ENGLISH
This document discusses culture in teaching English. It defines culture as including information or factual culture, behavioral culture, and achievement or accomplishment culture. There are three domains of culture: cognitive, pragmatic, and attitudinal. Teachers of English as a foreign language should teach both "big C" culture, which includes historical and artistic achievements, and "small c" culture, which is everyday behavioral culture important for students to understand when in the target country. The goals of teaching culture are to help students understand culturally conditioned behaviors and develop cultural awareness, competence, and empathy. Teachers should integrate cultural learning throughout lessons and recognize that cultural teaching aims to develop understanding, not demand behavior change.
Student Diversity
The document discusses various aspects of student diversity, including racial, cultural, ethnic, and English as a second language (ESL) diversity. It notes both benefits and challenges of diversity, such as new immigrants reviving local economies but also new conflicts arising. It emphasizes that diversity need not be a problem if schools and communities respond appropriately. It also discusses how teaching about diversity can help develop student understanding and decrease negative feelings toward other groups.
Multicultural Diversity
The document discusses skill-based syllabus in language teaching. It involves collecting particular language skills that may be useful for using language, such as pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and discourse. Unlike situational syllabi which group functions by language setting, skill-based syllabi group linguistic competencies into generalized behaviors like listening for main ideas or writing paragraphs. The primary purpose is to teach specific skills that are necessary to be competent in a language. It also discusses the role of multicultural education in transforming schools so that all students, regardless of gender, ability level, or cultural background can learn equally.
Pierre bourdieu (1984)
Pierre Bourdieu argues that cultural capital, educational capital, and economic capital influence academic achievement. He claims that middle-class families possess more of these types of capital. Cultural capital refers to the knowledge and attitudes developed through socialization within middle-class culture. Bourdieu asserts that middle-class children are socialized to value education more, whereas working-class children feel school devalues their culture. Studies also show middle-class parents can afford homes near better schools and private education for their children, converting economic capital to educational advantages.
Multicultural diversity

It notes that schools have increasingly diverse student populations from a variety of socioeconomic, cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.

Multi cultural class in a second language adquisition
Respect, freedom, justice, opportunity and equality, that is multiculturalism and we as teachers we have such a big challenge when we are faced in a multi-cultural class.
Bourdieu and Gerwitz- cultural capital
Cultural capital refers to non-financial social assets like education, knowledge, and speech patterns that promote social mobility. Pierre Bourdieu theorized that cultural capital contributes to educational achievement, giving an advantage to the middle class whose culture and values are rewarded in schools. Studies have found cultural capital is transmitted within families and significantly impacts students' exam results. However, a lack of cultural capital does not determine all working class students' failure, and material factors like money can also impact educational achievement and choices.
