Language and Culture in Sync: Teaching Linguistic Politeness and Intercultural Awareness

Host Institution: University of Minnesota at Twin Cities
Coordinating Institution: Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition
Website: https://carla.umn.edu/institutes/2022/linguistic.html

Dates: 27-Jun-2022 - 15-Jul-2022
Location: asynchronous online offered by CARLA, Minneapolis, MN, USA

Focus: A truly daunting challenge for second language learners is to adjust their language use so that it is socially acceptable for a variety of socio-cultural contexts. How, for example, are learners supposed to address strangers, close friends, or people of higher social status in that culture? Although acquiring culturally-sensitive discourse practices can take learners many years, research has shown that the process can be facilitated through explicit instruction.

This institute provides practical insights for teachers on how to enhance the learning of linguistic politeness and boost students' intercultural awareness and linguacultural diversity. Participants will have hands-on opportunities to develop activities and materials for the classroom.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum


Description:
Still open for registration but regular registration closes in a week (June
3)! Asynchronous but vibrant interactions for 3 weeks on how to teach
linguistic politeness and cultural diversity – we typically have a highly
international group of teachers and researchers discussing, connecting, and
reflecting collaboratively.


Tuition: 425 USD

Registration: Open until 23-Jun-2022
