So..How do we understand each other?

COMMUNICATION


17/31

85% of communication is non-verbal.

Movements, Gestures and Posture

We use movements and gestures to:

1) illustrate a verbal point

2) communicate a simple idea


18/31

Expression and Eyes

23 distinct motions of eyebrowscan communicate even more

emotions and non-verbal thoughts.


19/31

Intonation

Focuses on how words are said,

rather then the words themselves.

SARCASM..speaker says one set of words.

but his/ her voice communicates separate meaning.


20/31

Display and Appearance

Can communicate gender, age, comfort, class, social

participation , climate, era and mood.

.Skin tone, hair style, and good oral hygiene

communicates how well a person cares for her/himself.

Clothing, footwear, jewelry also send strong,

sometimes superficial, messages.


21/31

What about in the classroom??Non-verbal cues cannot convey factual information or

complex ideas

TEACHING AND LEARNING does.

So.

its up to YOU to deliver the GOODS!!!

23/31


24/31

List YOUR assumptions YOU have made about students based on:race

nationality

national origin

gender

agephysical/ mental disability

sexual identity

This will help you be more sensitive to cultural biases expressed in your classroom.

1. RECOGNIZE CULTURAL BIASES IN YOUR OWN LIFE.


25/31

2. Think about your language patterns.

Use gender and race neutral language when lecturing and writing.

Avoid colloquialism that may be perceived as biased or demeaning.

Remove assumptions about other people from your speech and writing.


26/31

3. TREAT EVERY STUDENT WITH RESPECT.

Appreciate their individuality without regard to cultural, ethnic,

racial or national backgrounds.

Do not presume that students from one culture may perform

better or need more help than students from another culture.

Avoid using labels and grouping people from certain areas of the

world.


27/31

TIPS AND WARNINGS

Use language and descriptions of cultural groups in lectures that are

sensitive to that cultures history.

Require that all students treat each other with respect and use

respectful language in your classroom.

Never permit students to use derogatory words or language about any

culture or about each other.
