Today’s lecture deals with language, culture, and communication in classrooms.
First of all, what exactly is
communication. One definition is that communication is a form of human behavior that results from a need to interact with other human beings. So, to meet this need, we send verbal and non-verbal messages to communicate with both friends and strangers. Communication can take the form of talk, or it can take the form of gestures, or non-verbal signals of one kind or another. The talk or signals send messages that communicate a person’s thoughts, feelings or intentions to others. Many scholars study the topic of communication in general and speech communication specifically in order to learn how individuals send and interpret messages. Some of these scholars conduct research on the topic of intercultural communication. That is, they studied communication between people from different cultures. One area of research in intercultural communication is the study of the influence of setting or environment on the success or failure of communication. In this lecture, I’ll be talking about one specific aspect of intercultural communication; that is, intercultural communication that takes place in the classroom. But what exactly is a classroom? When you’re asked to picture a classroom in your mind’s eyes, what do you see? You probably see a classroom that is familiar to you and that would be familiar to students from your culture. Not everyone will see the same picture in their minds. Although many people have a similar mental image of a classroom, their culture greatest influences way they view the teacher-student relationship and culture also influences how a person understands the ways and which information is taught and learnt in the classrooms. Culture also plays an important role in determining how teachers and students communicate in the classroom. In this lecture, I’ll give a few examples of some of the ways that culture affects this communication
