Cultura: Teaching Culture Rich Garcia & Carter Snowden NERCOMP 2006

Suburbs English-French dictionary translation: Suburbs = Banlieue Americans picture: Safe Pretty Wealthy French picture: Dangerous, crime-ridden Sad, grey Poor

Individualism English-French dictionary translation: Individualism = Individualisme Americans picture: Creativity Free thought Bold Strong French picture: Egocentrism Selfishness Isolation Bad

Pedagogical challenge How to get past the dictionary definitions, to the way people think and view the world. How to teach similarities and differences. How to help students discover cultural biases for themselves.

Cultura: A method Developed by Gilberte Furstenberg, professor of French at MIT Consists of: –Pair MIT class with a partner school in France –Prepare questionnaires on the Web: word associations, sentence completions, reactions to situations –Post students' answers on the Web –Use discussion board to promote conversation and discovery

Cultura: A tool Web application, developed by MIT's Educational Technology Consultants Instructor interface: –Build and publish questionnaires –Monitor/edit student responses –Initiate/watch discussions Student interface –Answer questionnaires –Compare/contrast other students' responses –Discuss responses for in-depth understanding

Questions Can I get that tool? Yes—We're soon to release a public version. Is there a cost? No—It will be offered without charge. Can it be customized? Completely. It's an open-source tool released under a public license.
