Title: Using Student-Made Illustrations To Extend Class Discussion
Body: From http://martinabex.com Teacher Martina Bex writes: “One of my favorite strategies for generating interesting discussions based on new vocabulary is having students draw an illustration for a scenario. For example, have the kids draw a picture of somewhere that they went, something that they saw, what they watch on TV, or what they like. These illustration-based discussions are great for providing compelling, comprehensible input to students because they personalize the structures. Here are several strategies for extending the activities beyond the actual discussion.” Read on for the strategies: http://martinabex.com/2013/12/20/extend-your-discussion

Title: Book: Socio-Cultural Values in the Development of Intercultural Communication Competence
Body:
Socio-Cultural Values in the Development of Intercultural Communication Competence
By Christopher Brighton
Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
How socio-cultural factors influence the development of Intercultural Communication Competence is an essential part of developing the skills to work and interact with a rapidly globalizing world. Building upon the work of Edward Hall, Geert Hofstede and Stella Ting-Toomey, this book explores the role in which experience, family and other social aspects play in creating an individual’s ICC skills. In this work, a model of six ICC skills allows for the examination of the impact of Polish national culture on socio-cultural values of Polish students in the three mutually dependent dimensions of politics, education and family. The empirical data present clear conclusions and indications of how specific factors are relevant or irrelevant in helping to construct ICC. These findings bear implications for trainers and researchers in approaching the issue of developing intercultural competences.
