W07 Blog: Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom (06/02/ 2022)

 

Brother Ivers said, “And so, be aware. Whenever a student is from a different place or ethnic group or something does anything weird, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Even though you may be interpreting it negatively, it may not be meant negatively. There’s a principle that you need to understand when you go into teaching in the diverse country in which we live.”

Culture can be different but the respect must be the same. Sometimes the cultures are very different. Brother Ivers couldn’t be more accurate. Is important to give the benefit of the doubt in the cultures. As human beings we are competitive and we compare of culture, food and language with others and call our culture the best culture and denigrate the other cultures. We have to learn to respect others cultures and learn the most that we can from them

 

Translation and culture, a constructive interdependence.

In a ESL classroom we face some challenges that we could have is when they give their point of view, their classmates have different opinions and they fight because of it. But as we have our bubble of space we need to create one called bubble of respect.

E MOTIONS  Happiness, sadness, fear,  loneliness, love. Emotions are important. They allow us to express how we feel and how we are dealing with life, work relationships. When children can’t express emotion they suffer because they aren’t able to express themselves with plenty. According to UNICEF most kids grow up without love, and emotional affection on behalf of their parents. Because of that they cant show their feelings like the other kids. Also the children that suffer violence in any form can develop this problem.     Emotions can be different in how we show them in every culture. Emotional culture is hard for the teacher, specially when we have a class that is multicultural, the teacher must learn how the students show their emotions in every culture. Emotional Expressivity can be hard to handle in a class because as teachers we might misunderstand our students’ emotions by their actions when they could really be expressing something else.To avoid ...
