Intercultural Communication - Interaction Exposure

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session II

Abstract

To maximize the opportunity for student contact with individuals from other cultures, I use an In-class Interaction Exposure activity. Speakers from various cultures come into my classroom on specified dates to discuss topics related to course concepts. Before the interaction, I lecture on the topic and related materials. This provides students with the opportunity to discuss issues that may be of a sensitive nature with individuals from other cultures on an interpersonal level.
