“Building Cross-cultural Curriculum in ESP Classroom“
Summary:
In today’s globalized word building a cross-cultural curriculum has become an essential aspect of language education. This approach focuses on preparing students to effectively communicate and navigate cultural differences in professional contexts. Developing a cross-cultural curriculum should begin with understanding the diverse cultural backgrounds of the students in EFL Classroom. This involves recognizing their values, beliefs, customs, and communication styles. By acknowledging and respecting these differences, teachers can create a safe and inclusive environment that promotes intercultural understanding.
Therefore, the talk will focus on effective ways of building Cross-Cultural curriculum at the example of integrating Digital Intercultural Story Telling in ESP Classroom, which can serve as a powerful way to promote cultural understanding, empathy, and digital literacy among the learners. Effective strategies to incorporate intercultural digital storytelling in the classroom will be demonstrated together with draft scenario: Exploring Cultural Identities through Digital Storytelling.
