Description:

Facilitators: UH Mānoa, Tech Center

In this session, Dr. Suzanne FreynikMs. Molly Godwin-Jones, and Dr. Richard Medina present The Culture App, an open educational resource designed to build intercultural awareness and help prepare learners for study abroad. This resource is based on scenarios which provide rich contexts and nuanced feedback about situations where miscommunications are likely to arise due to differences in cultural norms and expectations. Reflection and extension tasks serve as jumping off points for discussions.

The original modules were created by an inter-institutional, international and cross-language initiative. Currently, these are available in Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, and Turkish, with more languages to come.
