FLE Joint Conference: Unity in Diversity. TOBB University, Ankara, Türkiye, 21 - 22 Haziran 2019
Collaboration, communication, and social skills are the essential abilities
for 21th-century students to be successful in their future careers, and the survival
skills required in diverse communities and global business contexts. These are
also the competencies we, English language teachers in an EFL country, are
responsible for developing in our students, as we teach a language, which is
the medium of professional communication and collaboration in today’s world.
This workshop aims to present its participants a session that integrates
interculturality into language classroom taking Byram’s (1997) framework of
teaching and assessing intercultural communicative competence (ICC). During the
workshop, the participants will reflect on their experience and classroom
practices, and authentic student responses will be shared to demonstrate how
instruction may have an impact on cultural awareness, which is a must for
developing and cultivating collaboration, communication, and social skills in
multi-cultural societies.
