Join Professor of Italian Janice M. Aski and Assistant Director of the Italian Language Program April D. Weintritt (Ohio State University) for the second event of the Intercultural Learning in World Language Education Fall 2020 Webinar Series.
In this webinar, participants will learn one method for building activities in order to develop intercultural competence. In addition, we will give concrete examples of activities that have proved successful in the elementary language classroom. We will also discuss techniques for responding to students’ comments and reactions to this new type of work. It is sometimes the case that learners, when confronted with activities related to perspective taking, stereotyping, and cultural decentering, make comments that reveal a monocultural point of view and challenge the ICC message. We will give tips for preparing for such responses and developing the resources to deal with them effectively.
This event is free, no registration is required.
