2/6/21 w07 Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom

 


Having Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom is a challenge for the future TESOL teacher because he must develop a work plan to achieve a good student environment.

He will have to consider Asian students with their high respect for teachers, their low expressiveness, and their little participation due to their cultural paradigms.
African American students with their active participation and high expressiveness, American whites tend to be less expressive, Hispanics with their high tolerance for expressiveness.
Don't let the teacher be surprised if an American student enters the classroom late without apologizing or if African Americans talk too much or if Asians just want to participate all of this is part of cultural behaviors.
Professor Ivers said: We live in an egalitarian society, supposedly. Now, is it really egalitarian?
Before God we are all equal, we all have the same opportunities and rights, we are all subject to the law. With these precepts we must act before the cross-cultural students we will be their guides in this process of learning a new language.

Applying this knowledge especially about behavior, I have seen these differences in a classroom of students from the same culture, extremely expressive children to others who are quiet and not very participative. Each home is like a subculture where each one has its customs and behaviors that are also reflected. out of the home. with all this, having a good specific list of rules for coexistence in a cross-cultural classroom will maintain a comfortable environment for students.

    I think multicultural participants in a class can be a challenge but can give us a chance to teach and learn beyond the lesson; in some cases, all the cultural manifestations can be the context for the apprenticeship.

5/22/21 Culture Miscommunication

To communicate correctly with the world that surrounds us, even with the closest people, we have to know the way they communicate and that does not imply the language, but the attitudes, gestures, idioms, behavior, customs, and traditions. I want to include this comparative paragraph on how to interpret and understand different cultures. The tip of the iceberg, or the smallest portion that is visible on the surface of the water, presents visible or identifiable components of culture, such as food, clothing, language, dance, arts, etc. These visible components tend to be easily understood at face value. Beneath the surface is the most fundamental and often misunderstood components of culture, such as interpretations, core, and moral values, forms of communication, and assumptions. All of these concepts that lie beneath the surface of the iceberg are complicated and rarely change easily or frequently, making them more difficult for someone outside of the "inner" group to unders...

6/4/21 W07 Differences in Manners

I remember when I was a child the effort you make to follow the rules and good behavior inside and outside the home, I remember saying hello shaking hands I always confused about which hand to greet, and sometimes I did it with my left hand and my mother always remembered me with "The right girl!" And it was unforgivable if he did not greet the elders, well I think that in all cultures good and bad manners are cultivated and what for my culture is good for other cultures will be bad. . Belching If I ever have to be in China or Taiwan, it would be terrible for me to have lunch with them because erupting at the table is a bad way is unpleasant, in my country doing it is a sign of bad manners, rude. Exposing Your Palms While in my country to greet by waving the palms of the hands is a sign of kindness and friendship and it is a habit in Greece it is extremely offensive, if I ever visit Greece I will take it into account I do not want to be offensive.  No Tipping! It's okay y...
