It may seem odd that in order to learn about people in other cultures, we start by becoming more aware of our own culture. But we believe this is true. Why?
If you haven't had a chance to understand how your culture has affected you first hand, it's more difficult to understand how it could affect anyone else or why it might be important to them. If you are comfortable talking about your own culture, then you will become better at listening to others talk about theirs. Or, if you understand how discrimination has affected you, then you may be more aware of how it has affected others.
Here are some tips on how to becoming more aware of your own culture:
WHAT IS YOUR CULTURE?
Do you have a culture? Do you have more than one? What is your cultural background?
Even if you don't know who your ancestors are, you have a culture. Even if you are a mix of many cultures, you have one. Culture evolves and changes all the time. It came from your ancestors from many generations ago, and it comes from your family and community today.
For example, if you are Irish American, your culture has probably influenced your life. You parents or grandparents almost certainly handed down values, customs, humor, and world views that played a role in shaping your growing-up environment and your life today. Perhaps your views towards family, work, health and disease, celebrations, and social issues are influenced by your Irish heritage or by the experiences your family had when they immigrated to the U.S.
My sister is my best friend. She pushes me to do things outside of my comfort zone and helps me to be more outgoing. She tells me the truth even if it isn’t what I want to hear.
FOUNDATION FOR FRIENDSHIP
A good friendship is built on the foundation of common values. That means your friend shares your spiritual, moral, and ethical convictions.
The next factor, matching traits, is less important.
And quite often, similar interests matter least. After all, you can be friends with someone whose hobbies and talents are different from yours.
Warning: Be cautious about friendships that are founded on similar interests alone. If that friend doesn’t share your values, the relationship will likely totter—or worse, it may get you into trouble.
On the other hand, most English teachers often have very good English pronunciation and therefore students do not really need a native speaker to model sentences for them. Good English pronunciation does not mean using a British or American accent; if a teacher is Filipina, a Filipina accent (well,I can speak like a native speaker) is perfectly acceptable as long as the words are being pronounced correctly.Accents are not an indication of poor teaching but of where a person is from. At any rate,audio and video clips demonstrating proper English pronunciation are readily available and should be used by every teacher to give students a chance to hear other voices. This does not mean that recordings can replace native English speakers or teachers with good pronunciation; it is simply another tool that teachers can use in their classrooms.
Most non-native speakers are trained teachers in their country which means that they often will have much more teaching experience than native speakers. It seems foolish to assume that just because someone speaks English they can teach effectively without training in classroom management and lessons in English grammar,native speakers cannot be effective instructors. They may be able to speak the language but explaining it is an entirely different matter. If a native speaker is a qualified educator, then they will have an advantage but when teaching abroad, it is also beneficial to be able to communicate with students in their native language. When native English speakers are paired with local teachers,students have the best of both worlds. But the worst news for non-native speaker teachers is that if you ask any student which teacher they prefer they all answer "Native Speaker"
