Role play: The Best Way to Teach Intercultural Communication?

Résumé

In our globalised and constantly changing society, Intercultural Communication has become equally as important to learn and teach as Verbal and Nonverbal Communication. In the context of Higher Education and language learning, as students prepare for their careers and future professional employment, they should be given the opportunity to explore, analyze and learn about realistic situations. For language instructors, the challenge is to actively engage the students and stimulate their creativity while providing meaningful and practical activities. Ideally, the objective is to provide significant learning experiences and pedagogical approaches that will encourage and assist them in communicating during and long after their higher education experience. This presentation proposes to present a role play peer collaborative activity designed to teach Language for Special Purposes (Business English) and render students more sensitive to Intercultural Communication issues. This didactic approach was implemented in the IUT – TC department setting, but since the subject matter is universal in nature, it can be readapted and used for many other settings and languages. An analysis of the sixty student questionnaires will also be presented.
