Le lycée bilingue franco-finlandais d'Helsinki et le lycée bilingue franco-turc Saint Benoît à Istanbul développent depuis l'année scolaire 2015-2016 une coopération pédagogique à distance sur la ...thématique du conte avec le support des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication pour l'Enseignement (TICE). A l'issue de deux années de collaboration numérique et forts des résultats d'une enquête réalisée auprès ades élèves turcs et finlandais, l'objectif sera d'analyser en quoi un projet collaboratif numérique, ici axé sur le conte, apporte de nouvelles dimensions à l'acquisition de la compétence interculturelle dans un contexte bilingue.
Comenzando por aclarar el concepto de comunicación intercultural este trabajo define los términos que se derivan del concepto hasta llegar al de didáctica intercultural y presenta estudios de varios ...autores que, desde un punto de vista teórico, han desarrollado la necesidad de incluir el aprendizaje intercultural en la enseñanza del español y de otras lenguas extranjeras. También, desde un punto de vista práctico se ha reflexionado sobre la manera de llevar a cabo este aprendizaje en el aula de idiomas. Las propuestas y experiencias demuestran la necesaria inclusión de la competencia intercultural en las clases de lengua tanto o más que la competencia comunicativa, por lo que se define un nuevo papel del profesor de idiomas. La importancia del conocimiento intercultural para que una interacción sea correcta es tan grande que se aconseja la implantación en las escuelas de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la competencia intercultural y no exclusivamene en la clase de lengua.
Challenges from globalization, population growth, and climate change require science, technology, and engineering (STEM) professionals to have global competency. However, the impact of international ...experiences on STEM students’ development of these abilities has not been well studied. We assessed the effects of international research experiences in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Europe on the development of global competency for STEM graduate students from the United States. Research placements in LAC were generally field-based, involving interactions with community members, while placements in Europe were mostly lab-based. Surveys and interviews with participants before and after their trips revealed increases in intercultural abilities for students from all groups. Students who traveled to LAC had higher intercultural abilities before the trip but experienced smaller gains than their counterparts who traveled to Europe. Despite the value in community-based activities for students outside of university settings, more effort is needed to eliminate students’ barriers to understanding communication styles in their host communities.
Hybrid and alternating identity styles are dynamic strategies that members of immigrant and ethnic minority groups use to maintain multiple cultural identities. Although research shows that the two ...strategies predict different outcomes for cultural identity development and psychological well‐being, less is known about their antecedents. The present study investigated the temporal relationship between intercultural abilities (i.e. intercultural effectiveness) and the activation of hybrid and alternating identity styles in a community sample of Filipino and Indian New Zealanders. Cross‐lagged analysis indicated that intercultural abilities positively predicted the hybrid identity style and negatively predicted the alternating identity style. Cultural identity styles were not predictive of intercultural abilities over time. Multigroup analysis indicated equivalence of regression paths across ethnic groups. Findings suggest that intercultural abilities function as an antecedent of cultural identity styles.
Main issue: This article aims to measure intercultural teamwork competence and assess its impact on career competitive advantages for design students in order to determine how effective and ...competitive team members are in culturally diverse settings. Sampling: there were 51 participants (48 effective) in pretesting and 405 (338 effective) in formal testing. Participants were students from three colleges of design in Zhejiang Province of China. Statistical tool: this study used the on-line platform of wenjuanxing (wjx.cn) for data collection and SPSS software for data analysis. Methods: data were collected through on-line questionnaires, and then processed through factor analysis, t-test, and stepwise regression. Results: (1) TWC-CQ scale was formed to measure intercultural teamwork competence; (2) there were no statistically significant differences among participating design students (junior and senior) in intercultural teamwork competencies; (3) key competitive advantage = 0.347 × T-behavioral CQ + 0.232 × T-metacognitive CQ + 0.172 × T-motivational CQ + 0.124 × T-cognitive CQ. Conclusions: intercultural teamwork competence and its positive impact on design students’ competitive advantages could be measured. Implications: theoretical and practical implications were summed up for future studies.
