Teaching intercultural competence through literature by Emilie Larsen https://padlet.com/emilielarsens/vu7za63ehqwx en-us 2019-03-29 14:10:25 UTC 2023-05-16 15:58:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Gillian Lazar: “Why use literature in the language classroom?” emilielarsens https://padlet.com/emilielarsens/vu7za63ehqwx/wish/346562592 Literature should be used with students because: 
1. It is very motivating 
2. It is authentic material 
3. Helps students to understand another culture 
4. Expand students’ language awareness 
5. It encourages students to talk about their opinions and feelings 

“The use of literary texts is often a particularly way of promoting activities where students need to share their feelings and opinions” 

“Literary texts are often rich in multiple levels of meaning, and demand that the reader/learner is actively involved in ‘teasing out’ the unstated implications and assumptions of the text”

- “Literary texts therefore have the potential to promote language and culture learning at a deep level” (p.6).
- “In a world increasingly dominated by visual images and electronic writing, I propose reading literature as slow food for crossing over to new languages and cultures, alongside other texts, audiovisual and oral” (p.6).

- Some novels, shorts stories and plays may achieve the illusion of representing reality, but they are, in the end, works of fiction. 
- There is a danger that students will fall into the fallacy of assuming that a novel represents the totality of a society. 
- How the literature is represented, must be followed by the question: how is culture defined? ]]> 2019-03-29 14:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/emilielarsens/vu7za63ehqwx/wish/346563723 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: “The danger of a single story” emilielarsens https://padlet.com/emilielarsens/vu7za63ehqwx/wish/346564692 - Her point in the speech is that each individual life contains a heterogeneous compilation of stories. If you reduce people to one, you’re taking away their humanity.
- “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”

- “Eleverne skal gennem undervisningen blive bevidste om, at alle lande, også Danmark, har ikke én, men mange kulturelle fællesskaber, ligesom kulturelle fællesskaber ofte går på tværs af lande. Det betyder, at det sjældent giver mening at undervise i ”en typisk englænder” eller en ”typisk amerikansk hverdag”. Der skal i stedet arbejdes med de mulige stereotype forestillinger, eleverne har fået, fx gennem medier og populære tv-serier, og med blik for forskellige samfundsgrupper i forskellige lande og på tværs af landegrænser.” (p.7)
- “Målet er, at eleverne skal blive interkulturelt kompetente og kan indgå selvstændigt i internationale kulturmøder på engelsk. At være interkulturelt kompetent betyder i dette syn, at man er god til at agere i foranderlige situationer, til at aflæse dem og til at påvirke dem, og at man kan være nysgerrig, empatisk og respektfuld over for forskellighed” (p.7).

"Folkeskolen skal i samarbejde med forældrene give eleverne kundskaber og færdigheder, der: forbereder dem til videre uddannelse og giver dem lyst til at lære mere, gør dem fortrolige med dansk kultur og historie, giver dem forståelse for andre lande og kulturer, bidrager til deres forståelse for menneskets samspil med naturen og fremmer den enkelte elevs alsidige udvikling”]]> 2019-03-29 14:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emilielarsens/vu7za63ehqwx/wish/346566313
