  • What could be considered as “communication challenges” posed by this statement?
  • How do we help students understand that other points of view “can also be right”?
  • How do local contexts and global contexts impact how we communicate?

Students can connect with others globally to understand their perspectives. rita_sperini https://padlet.com/rita_sperini/32cp6cadpdsmb2mi/wish/687329195 2020-08-19 15:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rita_sperini/32cp6cadpdsmb2mi/wish/687329195 Impact: people are different globally and culturally so that will impact our communication. We need to find the common goal. rita_sperini https://padlet.com/rita_sperini/32cp6cadpdsmb2mi/wish/687334553 2020-08-19 15:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rita_sperini/32cp6cadpdsmb2mi/wish/687334553 Q1. sarahhong https://padlet.com/rita_sperini/32cp6cadpdsmb2mi/wish/688411296
    Students communicate with intercultural understanding is a challenge. Not engouh understanding of the culture of other countries is the main problem.

    Q2.

    By exposing students to different positions/enviroments/cultural background, Try to express optnions for others from other point of view may help students understand that “others can also be right”

    Q3.

    Effective communicate locally and globally should be very different, an effective local communication method may not useful for globally, it is more easy for students to communicate with local contexts since they were raised in this background, but how to communicate effectively based on global contexts? They can learn and be cultivated.


    Multilingualism, global engagement can help develops students’ intercultural understanding and international-mindedness increases students' awareness of the existence of multiple perspectives, then students will be open-minded, they will know how to communicate with global contexts.

    I'll try to ask student to research information using different language sometimes, to get from local context to global, especially the knowledge or news about civics, history, politics,,,,the more they read something intercultural, the more chance to build open-mind viewpoint.

  • I think just a lack of overall understanding of culture in other countries and parts of the world is what students are lacking.  But also within their community even.  We have students in our I.B. program from all different parts of the world and the students do not have a vast understanding of what is in the classroom with them, not even including the rest of the world.
  • I think that students can better understand other points of view by exposing our students to others more and more.  Recently I have embarked on a vast collaboration project with schools from 3 different countries and have found that even though our students are learning the same things (and sometimes in very similar countries) the way they are learning and the environment they are in allows for a completely different experience which can change the outlook on certain events and ways of learning.

  • I think that while the method used to communicate locally and globally may be different, I think that the learning can be very similar.  During my collaboration project, we (a school in Canada) were working with a school from Antigua on Math problems and after our students starting talking on zoom and google meets, it was very similar to them just being in the class together.  The initial meeting of students potentially needs to be assisted, like they are coming to school for the first time, however, after they start, it is a similar way to communicate.
