Description

The ICLE SIG Forum focuses on complexity related to translation and cultural sensitivity. The first presentation explores the action-oriented approach (AoA) in EFL classrooms, finding that sustained AoA exposure positively influences students' global competence. A mixed-methods design confirmed this link across qualitative and quantitative data. The second presentation highlights the importance of reflective practice in experiential learning. It outlines strategies teachers can use to guide post-experience reflection and helping students critically process intercultural encounters.

Summary

Join the ICLE Forum to explore the complexities of reflection and cultural awareness in intercultural communication. This year’s theme invites a deep dive into moments when meaning slips through the cracks, highlighting the subtle nuances of communication that shape and reflect cultural identity.
