Date Posted: 17:03:31 08/25/10 Wed This presentation will focus on an intercultural experience of South African teachers in a Taiwanese school. Issues like dealing with cultural differences, accent problems and skin color prejudice will be addressed as well as a thought on the necessity of better preparation, background experience and adjustments when teaching in a foreign country. Cultural differences appear when no attention is given to an outside culture, and there is no acceptance or assimilation of any parts. In the case of this paper, neither teachers or students were prepared well enough to understand each other, what led to a serie of errors, dissatisfaction and misunderstanding. What this paper proposes is to view why and when these difficulties appear raising some thoughts on the issues of the inability to connect with other culture and other ways. Also, I will address the assumption that there should be a better or worse accent and how this is perceived as a barrier to communication within certain groups [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
