Teaching Interculturally (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Amy Lee | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"According to [this] timely new book, we cannot ignore the increasing cultural diversity of our students. This is true even in technical and scientific courses: '...you are teaching in and experiencing intercultural classrooms regardless of whether you want to, whether you are aware of it, and whether you think it is your responsibility or relevant to your discipline'. In other words, this is not a book that asks, 'Is culture affecting my readers or users?' Instead, it goes further: 'How do I design and communicate effectively in this intercultural environment?' This is a tough question, and in a refreshing nod to practicality, the authors set out a developmental process instead of a 'to do' list. According to them, putting the theory of 'intercultural pedagogy' into practice requires time, dialog with others, cultural humility, and critical reflection. This all requires conscious effort that comes about through an iterative series of failures, reframing issues, repeated observations, and refinement."--Technical Communication
