Keynote Presentation

Culture in the classroom: Application of traditional and ‘small’ culture approaches
William Rozycki and Honnor Orlando, ICIC at IUPUI

An identification of the dynamics of multiple ‘small’ cultures in the classroom is increasingly supplementing the more traditional view of ethnicity as the vehicle of cultural identity. This workshop will begin with an exercise to get participants thinking about cultural differences at the individual level. Next, traditional and new conceptions of culture are presented in some detail. 

Principles to improve cross-cultural communication in the classroom within the ‘small’ culture framework will then be presented. Critical classroom incidents are discussed and the audience is encouraged to suggest ways to improve communication outcomes
