Description:

For those living within today’s rapidly changing social landscape, intercultural competence is a necessary skill, and the cultivation of intercultural individuals falls on the shoulders of today’s educators. For the last decade researchers have discussed the need for a new approach to teaching culture, yet curricular approaches and materials continue to espouse a fact-based teaching approach in which culture is separable from language. Sessions in the Intercultural Competence conference are intended to address calls for a learner-centered, experiential, dynamic, and affective approach in which language is linked to culture. This series of conferences brings together researchers and practitioners from across languages, levels and settings to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices, fostering meaningful professional dialogue and enhancing teacher effectiveness as we prepare students to become global citizens. Since 2010, each conference has focused on a specific theme: aiming for “the third place” (2010), immersive environments (2012), and teacher training (2014). >
