The Development of Intercultural Competency: A Structured Approach for Practical Classroom Application
Caon-Parsons, Sandra; Dimmell, Paula
English Australia Journal, v36 n2 p20-33 2020
The Intercultural Competency (ICC) Program is a structured program that has been developed at the University of Adelaide's English Language Centre (ELC) to create opportunities for students to connect in a global context. This stand-alone and easily transferable program aims to create meaningful opportunities for mixed-language-ability learners to come together and develop their intercultural competency skills towards becoming global citizens. This paper will illustrate practical ways to create opportunities for concrete experiences in the classroom for the development of these skills and will demonstrate how this has been achieved at the University of Adelaide's ELC. The curriculum framework, lesson plans, program logistics and data from students' and teachers' experiences of this program will be discussed.
