Hello!
This entry will be a focus on my thoughts about intercultural communication. I have to say that of all the classes I really enjoyed last weeks discussion on intercultural communication. I thought that Dr. Lomicka's project with the honors French class was very interesting and could be adapted and used here at UF. I think it is an excellent idea and would be beneficial to UF students studying spanish. One of the ideas within ICC, Noticing and reflecting were the most beneficial to my understanding.
Noticing and reflecting are important concepts, for students to experience when doing ICC. Not only do students notice another culture, but they are able to reflect and think about their own culture. I think that Culture is very abstract and difficult to teach but that ICC makes it possible. It is also important to note that without the proper technology none of these things will be attainable, but its worth trying to implement some sort of technology in the classroom.

I also really liked Dr. Lomicka's French Project ... my favorite part is the actual exchange visits to the other countries. I really wish I had something like that in my early Spanish classes at the University!
