课程名称：文化在英语学习者教学中的角色 课程概述：文化和语言密不可分。作为教师，我们常常面临教导英语学习者语言和文化元素的挑战。当这些学生加入我们的课堂时，他们带来了自己的文化知识，这可能与他们所处的新的文化有相同或不同的标准和价值观。作为教师，我们的职责不是证明哪种文化更优越，而是理解文化如何影响学习过程。 课程大纲： 1. 文化是什么？ - 本模块将介绍文化的复杂构造及影响文化的各种因素。我们将探讨个人、社会、文化和语言身份的概念，以及如何在课堂上肯定学生的身份。你将能够区分社会化与文化适应的过程，以便更好地理解英语学习者对学习新文化的看法。模块最后，我们将反思自己的文化背景，以及生活经历如何与我们当前的观点相关。 2. 在课堂上适应文化 - 第二模块关注教师和学生如何在课堂上适应文化。我们将意识到教师与学生之间可能存在的隐性偏见和权力动态，这可能影响课堂学习。我们将介绍文化冲击的概念，并讨论帮助新来的英语学习者适应新学习环境的方法。你将了解资产基础教育模型，包括文化响应教学（CRT），如何促进英语学习者的学术成功。最后，我们将评估课程大纲中的文化响应教学元素。 3. 文化与交流 - 第三模块探讨文化与交流之间的基本联系。你将发现文化如何影响语言使用，以及语言与思维如何反映文化视角。我们将引入跨文化交际能力（ICC）的重要构建和教学与评估的最佳实践。你将定义语言社群，并理解英语学习者日常需应对的多种语言社群。模块最后，我们将评估教学中的ICC元素。 4. 在课堂中融入文化 - 本课程的最后一个模块旨在提供更多关于如何在各年级和学科中融入文化的实用提示。你将听取专家讲述他们在数学、STEM、艺术和历史等领域实施文化响应教学的不同方法。我们将回顾一些传统课堂活动以教授文化。你将获得评估文化知识和ICC的最佳方法及挑战的见解。最后，我们将强调在评估中意识到文化偏见，并讨论如何避免这些偏见。该模块最后会有一个课程计划作业，要求你融入活动以教授ICC、文化内容知识或实施文化响应教学法。
Name:What Is Culture?
Description:In Module 1, you will learn about the complex construct of culture and the various factors that influence it. We'll explore the concepts of personal, social, cultural, and linguistic identities and how we can affirm our students' identities in the classroom. You will be able to distinguish between the processes of enculturation and acculturation in order to better understand your English learners' perspectives of learning a new culture. We wrap up the module by reflecting on your own cultural background and the ways in which your life experiences and influences relate to your current points of view.
Name:Getting Comfortable with Culture in the Classroom
Description:Module 2 is all about becoming comfortable with culture, for both teachers and students. We'll become aware of possible implicit biases and power dynamics between teacher and students that may impact learning in the classroom. We'll introduce the concept of culture shock and discuss ways to help newcomer English learners adjust to their new learning environment. You will discover how asset-based pedagogy models, including Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), can foster academic success for English learners. We wrap up the module by evaluating curriculum for elements of culturally responsive teaching.
Name:Culture and Communication
Description:In module 3, we will learn about the fundamental connection between culture and communication. You'll discover how culture affects language use and how language and thought are windows into cultural points of view. We introduce the crucial construct of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and best practices to teach and assess it. You'll define a speech community and gain an understanding of the many speech communities your English learners have to navigate on a daily basis. We wrap up the module by evaluating a lesson for elements of ICC.
Name:Incorporating Culture in the Classroom
Description:The final module in the course aims to provide more practical tips for incorporating culture into the classroom across grade levels and subject areas. You will hear from experts about the various ways in which they have implemented culturally responsive teaching in math, STEM, art, and history. We'll review some traditional classroom activities for teaching about culture. You will gain insight into the best methods for and challenges of assessing cultural knowledge and ICC. We'll also highlight awareness of cultural biases in assessment and how to avoid them. The module wraps up with a lesson planning assignment in which you'll be asked to incorporate activities to teach ICC, cultural content knowledge, or implement culturally responsive teaching methods.
Culture and language are inextricably linked. As teachers, we are often faced with the challenge of teaching both language and elements of culture to our English learners. When these students join our classes, they come equipped with knowledge about their own culture, which may or may not have the same norms and values as the new one they find themselves in. It is not our job, as teachers, to prove that one culture is better than another. Instead, it’s our goal to understand how culture influenc
