What makes 1) an English textbook intercultural? 2) a classroom interaction intercultural? by https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019 Put 1 and 2 before your answer en-us 2019-04-23 18:52:15 UTC 2019-04-24 01:53:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353513697 Test]]> 2019-04-23 19:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353513697 Intercultural English Textbook https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353524996 -Differentiates between a country (with its geographical boundaries) and (a) culture (fluid, dynamic and emergent)
-Highlights diversity in representing the Self and Others
-Considers homogeneity as a MYTH]]> 2019-04-23 19:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353524996 Intercultural Classroom Interaction https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353527114 -Tolerance in accepting various views and ‘languages’ (expressions, regional accents, degree of politeness ... as these may change and there is no rule or norm in deciding about the correctness and appropriateness of the linguistic and non-linguistic behaviours of the teacher/student)
-Avoiding stereotypes and essentialist judgements
-Adressing the teacher/student as an individual not its ‘geographical’ origins with total respect of their classroom identities
-Challenging the inhereted discourses about countries and/or ‘cultures]]> 2019-04-23 19:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353527114 Hello, Amina. https://padlet.com/aminadouidi/Cultnet2019/wish/353536141 I’m Rie, from Japan. As I cannot attend the CULTNET meeting, this activity could be very helpful and useful for me.
2) In Japan, though the number of foreign residents are increasing, Japanese people do not have chances to talk with them. So, I use movies which focus on something intercultural in my seminar. 
1) In my English classes I use textbooks  which have some cultural topics and students can start to learn about different cultures.
2) In my English classes, I also implement international Project-Based Learning, Flat Stanley, with  my students. They can exchange pictures and short messages on a Padlet.  Most Japanese students, except majoring in English related themes, do not have high proficiency of English. So I think they can enjoy this project and raise their awareness of different cultures.
