It’s all about you: our readers.
No matter how passionate one is about something, sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to devote ourselves to that passion as much as we would like. We’re sure you know what we mean!
We know our readers are passionate about education. And that you’re also interested in cross-cultural communication. In other words, we know you enjoy reading our blog.
However, we also know that life might not have permitted you to read every single one of our posts this month. So we started an It’s All About You: Month in Review series, which we’ll post at the end of every month.
The goal of this new series is to highlight for you, our readers, some of the most interesting posts in each topic we blog about. So whenever you have a busy month, don’t worry, we’ll help you catch up!
Month in Reviews are also perfect posts to forward to your friends and colleagues who might enjoy sampling CulturallyTeaching.
Month in Review - October Edition:
::: Children Full of Life
In video about an elementary school in Japan, 4th graders talk and learn about life. Emotions, tears, smiles are all part of the conversation and contribute greatly to learning. Take a look (you might want to have tissues nearby).
::: The Great Italian Pizza Fiasco of 1994
Many of us have experienced cross-cultural fiascos. But how often do these fiascos become cross-cultural turning points? How often do we look back, take the time to really reflect on what happened, and LEARN from it? Cate did in 1994, and it changed her forever.
::: Cate visits schools in Argentina
As you may know, Cate was in Argentina in October, attending and presenting at the FAAPI conference. While in Argentina, she visited three schools: Ciclo Basico, Colegio Martin Miguel de Güemes, and J.A. Pradere. Big THANK YOU to Patricia, Pamela, and all the wonderful English students who welcomed Cate into their classrooms.
::: Doing and Being Cultures
We have covered quite a bit of cultural theory since we started out blog, mostly having to do with cultural dimensions. If you haven’t had a chance to follow all of our posts on cultural dimensions, this post summarizes all these theoretical concepts quite effectively.
We love connecting with our readers! Why not…
