UPCOMING EVENTS
Oct 2, 2021 – 10:00-11:30 Intercultural Communication Workshop (Sponsored by SIETAR Chubu in collaboration with JII):
Title: Linguaculture: The Deep Connection Between Language and Culture
Description: It’s clear that language and culture are closely related. Despite this, language learning and cultural learning are often treated as separate processes and it can be hard for language teachers to integrate cultural learning into their lessons. This presentation helps resolve this dilemma. Participants will learn about the Developmental Model of Linguaculture Learning (DMLL), a unified approach to language and culture pedagogy. The DMLL describes four developmental levels of linguaculture learning. It can be applied in both intercultural and language education work.
