Intercultural Competence 

 


 

Logo

 

 


 

Abstract:

Intercultural competence is required today more than ever to avoid conflict and misunderstanding. Due to COVID-19 lockdown, we have gone ever more online and our interactions have become even more globalized. As each culture has its own values, practices, and ways of communicating, this session will help you understand them better and therefore help you achieve your goals.

 

 


 

Target audience:

Educators, entrepreneurs and students interacting at a global scale

 

Session objectives:

Learners will be able to:  

  • Demonstrate openness and curiosity about their own and diverse cultures
  • Communicate respectfully and appropriately with others from diverse cultural backgrounds
  • Understand and appreciate their own cultural or multicultural identities
  • Demonstrate an awareness of their roles and responsibilities as citizens within society 
  • Understand their local and global roles with regard to national and international issues, such as environmental issues and sustainable living practices.

Reflections


 

Media:How will you communicate with participants during the session? Write in all that apply. (You don't need all of them!)  Be as specific as you are able at this stage. You may make changes during the training session. Remember: you may not require participants to pay for using these platforms. Participation in EVO is free. If you have no idea which platforms you will use, write We don’t know yet.

 

  • Interactive space (group/community/forum)
  • Content space (where your syllabus, readings, and videos will be)
  • Live meeting space (for synchronous events/webinars)

 

Other technology tools:What other technology tools will you introduce or practice with participants? (e.g., AboutMe for introductions, Audacity or Chirbit for recording audio..., etc.). You can add more or make changes during the training session. If you don't know, write "We don't know yet."

 


 

Suggested sponsor(s): Sponsors are professional associations who would be willing to advertise your session in their elist or newsletters, and who would help create an audience for your session and an interest in EVO participation. (No money or other physical support is requested!) TESOL Interest Section(s) or affiliate(s), IATEFL Special Interest Group(s), or other group(s) who could sponsor your session, such as JALT, KOTESOL, or AVEALMEC. N.B.: The EVO Coordination Team will arrange for TESOL-IS sponsorship, but please tell us which Interest Section you feel would be most likely to sponsor your session. For non-TESOL organizations, we ask that you list all likely sponsors, but please confirm sponsorship with them yourself after your proposal is accepted.

 


 

Moderators: Fill in the table on the page you have created for all session moderators and co-moderators. You can change or add to the list later. Co-moderators are expected to take part in the training session along with moderators.
