"Voyage of discovery, during which perceptions are altered, unquestioned assumptions about culture and identity are challenged."  ( Lopez- Barrios p. 314) Students can accomplish this task through autobiographical writing assignments, oral presentations on their native countries, compare and contrast holidays and traditions and discuss current events through a multicultural perspective. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207477437 romeroearcillia https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207478790 Teachers should be aware of how many different languages are spoken in the class, many students of other countries speak more than one language. Teachers can ask students to speak in their own language and record them, the teacher can then ask students to identify each language they hear. " The ability to use plural repertoire of linguistic and cultural l resources to meet communication needs or interact with people form other backgrounds." ( Lopez- Barrios p 314) Students can exchange useful phrases or words in their target language that would be helpful in their own country. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207478790 romeroearcillia https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207482190 Create cultural experiences in L2 that provide diverse "opportunists for direct and indirect contact." Levy gives several examples of creating cultural experiences for students, such as emails (pen pals) online chats, discussion forums and travel. Tools such as Google Expeditions would help students gain cultural experiences though interactive virtual worlds. ]]> 2017-11-16 00:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207482190 romeroearcillia https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207486291 Cultural awareness is an important aspect of learning. Task based assignments targeted to learning about other cultures are crucial to fostering a welcoming environment for students in the classroom. Leaning about culture and word connection and object recognition is helpful when learning another language. I would utilize all tools to assure cultural awareness promotes language learning in my classroom. ]]> 2017-11-16 00:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207486291 romeroearcillia https://padlet.com/romeroearcillia/7fy0sslem3k6/wish/207487446 Levy, Mike. “Culture, Culture Learning and New Technologies: Towards a Pedagogical Framework.” Language Learning & Technology, University of Hawaii National Foreign Language Resource Center. 1859 East-West Road #106, Honolulu, HI 96822.
