As classrooms become increasingly diverse, graduate students face both opportunities and challenges in navigating intercultural communication. This workshop provides a space to reflect on your own cultural lens while exploring strategies to foster inclusive and respectful communication in teaching and learning contexts. Together, we will examine how cultural differences shape classroom dynamics, participation styles, and interpretations of meaning. Through interactive activities and discussion, you will develop practical tools to recognize and address miscommunication, cultivate cultural humility, and strengthen your ability to engage effectively across cultures.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify key concepts of intercultural communication and how they apply to teaching and learning contexts.
- Reflect on personal communication styles and cultural assumptions that shape classroom interactions.
- Practice strategies for building inclusive learning environments that honor diverse perspectives and voices.
