Pre-assignment for 13.12.2017
You have a
pre-assignment related to the Development model of Intercultural
Sensitivity. Please watch the video before hand, so you understand what it is all about, and
do the assignment before class. We will go through the assignment
in class.
You can, alongside, read this material "Strategies for developing intercultural competence" from R. Michael Page, Maximizing study abroad. (Found also in Optima).
The video and material goes through the theory, stage by stage and gives examples.

This explains Bennett's stages of
intercultural sensitivity.

1. Please reflect upon every stage of the intercultural sensitivity model.
What thoughts and reflections does a
person have when she/he experiences something new from a cultural aspect, when
she/he is in the a. denial stage, b. defense stage c. minimization stage, d. acceptance stage, e. adaptation stage and e. integration?
Explain how a person feels, reacts or thinks in all the different stages, when experiencing a cultural difference.
2. In what stage are you, right now?
3. Why do we need to be culturally competent?
Write down notes for yourself, so that you can discuss the theory, the stages and your own perspective in class.
