Intercultural competence is important for teachers and students. Teachers need to continue ongoing learning to learn how to integrate various teaching techniques into the classroom. Students should learn about the global world to learn how to engage with each other - as majority students come from different ethnic backgrounds. ]]> 2019-08-07 21:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373636883 How does intercultural competency benefit students? sumandhillon1995 https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373639305 "When language skills and intercultural competency become linked in a language classroom, students become optimally prepared for participation in a global world" (Moeller & Nugent 2). 

Incorporating intercultural competency helps students build skills that will teach them how to interact with people outside of the classroom as well. ]]> 2019-08-07 22:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373639305 Tips for incorporating intercultural competency in the classroom: sumandhillon1995 https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373639545 - Engage cultural diversity - get students to get to know each other through interactive activities 
- Know our cultural habits and get to know others' cultural habits - this provides us with a deeper understanding of self and others 
- Curriculum: "Increase awareness of racial and ethnic disparities in education and the importance of sociocultural factors on beliefs and behaviours" 
- Identify the impact of race, ethnicity, culture, and class on decision making 
- Develop skills for cross-cultural assessment

Instead of saying, "we do it like this here," - be more inclusive and incorporate the students' cultural habits into the lesson. This will allow students to feel more comfortable, and it will reduce their culture shock as well. ]]> 2019-08-07 22:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373640344 How has this area deepened your understanding of culturally responsive pedagogy? sumandhillon1995 https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373641343 Learning about intercultural competency has deepened my understanding of culturally responsive pedagogy, because it taught me why "understanding culture is an integral component of intercultural competence" (Moeller & Nugent 3). It is important to understand that culture is an "ever-changing force" - therefore, as teachers, we must continue to learn the changing facets of culture. In order to be a culturally responsive educator, we must keep up to date with what the different cultures are, and learn how to incorporate that into our classrooms. ]]> 2019-08-07 22:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373641343 Sources: sumandhillon1995 https://padlet.com/sumandhillon1995/6s3qq626tyic/wish/373642036 Samderpil, G. & Gunther, C.
