Teaching & Learning Seminar - Sophie Reissner-Roubicek (糖心TV)
Understanding interactional patterns, preferences, and styles: Putting intercultural communication theory into your practice
In this talk, I鈥檒l firstly pinpoint the key dimensions of culture that are considered to influence our communication (and) behaviour at individual and group levels. We鈥檒l focus on the areas that offer the most useful insights for the academic workplace (including teaching, facilitation, and supervision) and look at some of the resources developed with funding from IATL and WIHEA. These research-based training materials also push participants to reflect on their orientation to the culture of learning and we鈥檒l consider how this impacts on the interactions between students and between students and staff.
