How can we cultivate language learning environments that are inclusive of all students’ diverse backgrounds, learning preferences, and culturally-shaped ways of being? What teaching practices foster various forms of intercultural learning and critical engagement? In this fully asynchronous course, we will explore the “what”, “how” and “why” of inclusive and intercultural teaching practices through materials development/selection, activity/task design, and classroom engagement. Activities will include readings, discussions, videos, case study exploration, and reflections. Upon completion of the course, you will have the skills to select relevant approaches for working with diverse student populations and in language teaching contexts through intentional design principles, culturally-informed methods, and intercultural techniques. You will demonstrate your learning by creating a differentiated activity, an inclusive and intercultural teaching philosophy statement, and a lesson plan with relevant adaptations for diverse student populations and contexts.
