Sociolinguistics Perspectives in Education: Episode 15

Reflexiones: Our podcast is a reflection of our experience with Tenerife exchange students. We discussed techniques they used to help communicate with the student. The biggest obstacle for us however was the cultural differences that could not necessarily be ‘translated’. In the podcast, we discuss how assumptions in regard to cultural knowledge can be dangerous in addition to the idea that English proficiency does not necessarily ensure knowledge.
