Actividades del proyecto
What Makes Language Unique? Exploring Our Own Culture's Words
Students explore idioms, slang, and expressions from their own community, discussing why certain phrases matter and what they reveal about their culture. They create a list of 5-10 local expressions with explanations of their meaning and cultural significance.
Interview International Partners About Language and Culture
Students conduct video calls or asynchronous interviews with their partner class, asking prepared questions about idioms, slang, humor, and how emotions are expressed through language in their region. Students take notes and record key insights about what language reveals about their partners' culture.
Analyze Patterns: How Language Reflects Cultural Values
Students compare the expressions and idioms collected from their own community and their partner class, identifying patterns in how different cultures express emotions, humor, relationships, and values. They create a comparative analysis showing what these language choices reveal about each culture's priorities and worldview.
Present Findings: Language as a Mirror of Culture
Students present their analysis and key discoveries about how language shapes and reflects culture, using examples from both their community and their international partners. They reflect on what they learned about intercultural communication and how language connects people across the world.
