Adapting to the Culture of the American Classroom:
A Workshop for International Faculty explores the
unique challenges faced by international faculty and offers strategies
to them teach more effectively in the Carnegie Mellon classroom. Communicating More Effectively with International
Students helps faculty or staff understand
some of the underlying causes of miscommunication with international students
and then to develop techniques and skills to improve communication. Cross Cultural Communication
is designed to get participants to experience the feelings and reactions
they might encounter when traveling in another country or interacting
with people from other cultures. This workshop is useful for international
students, domestic students who plan to travel abroad, or anyone interacting
in a multicultural environment. Cultural Myths and Misunderstandings
helps participants understand how myths and misunderstanding can develop
in a cross-cultural situation, particularly when we interpret the other
culture through the lens of our own culture. By the end of the workshop,
participants have a better sense of how to objectively interpret and interact
with a new culture or sub-culture. Making the Most of Your International TAs
gives undergraduate students the opportunity to understand some of the
culture and language differences which may cause problems for their international
TAs, and gives them ways to compensate for those problems. The session
also explores the process of ITA testing and training at Carnegie Mellon. Teaching in a Multi-cultural Classroom, an interactive workshop for faculty and/or TAs, looks at issues of cross-cultural communication and cultural differences in the multi-cultural classroom. The workshop helps instructors identify potential problem areas and develop strategies for preventing those problems and creating a cohesive classroom community. We also offer individualized consulting with international faculty on language and cultural issues which affect communication in the classroom.
