【EMI Workshop for Teachers- Cross-Cultural Issues in the University Classroom: Work with GenZ as a Unique Cultural Group】

 

Activity Description: Online teaching during the COVID era brought into stark relief gaps between teacher and student that had perhaps previously gone unnoticed, particularly cultural generational gaps that impacted the success of online learning. The differences in how GenZ learners’ use social media and digital spaces in navigating their interpersonal relationships, including those with classmates and instructors demonstrated the
need for a renewed dialogue on how educators reach this evolving audience and thereby improve their learning outcomes. This session seeks to open dialogue on challenges of GenZ culture and to highlight aspects that may be positively leveraged to improve course outcomes. Further, this session will offer a recommended protocol for using social media to better engage learners in both online and in-person teaching environments. ((Appropriate for EMI professors, University Faculty and Staff, ETFs, trainees of English level B1 and above))
