Intercultural knowledge and language awareness Questions for class discussion
Interacting: first stage Teachers: present tasks or scenarios appropriate to the class support scenarios with appropriate models of language avoid stereotyped or generalised scenarios and models promote participation of all learners. Students: view, read and listen to the texts and language models that support the scenario undertake tasks and discussions to build comprehension, language proficiency and awareness, and cultural knowledge attempt performances of the scenario.
Noticing Class activity Questions for discussion Students: engage in pair / group / class discussions to analyse interpersonal interactions in the scenario express themselves in both English and the LOTE where possible Teachers: ask guiding questions provide additional resources and language models if necessary encourage students to notice forms, processes, strategies, hierarchies, and responses to language choices. listen to and build upon student responses. What is happening here? What is being said? What do you see? What do you think? Is this surprising or confusing? Is there something you don’t understand? What would you expect to happen? How would you feel in this situation?
Comparing Class activity Questions for discussion Students: compare cultural similarities and differences use their personal experience of diverse cultures to inform discussion discuss the range of values, beliefs and practices that exist within the target culture, as well as within the cultures ‘owned’ by class members question stereotypes and generalisations express themselves in both English and the LOTE where possible Acknowledge the opinions of classmates Teachers: create opportunities for students to discuss values, beliefs and practices with members of the LOTE-speaking community ask guiding questions listen to and build upon student responses Show respect for diversity of views in the classroom. How is this similar to what you would think, say and do? How is this different from what you would think, say and do? Can there be different perspectives on this situation? How do you expect people from other cultures to respond to this situation? Does everyone from the other culture respond in the same way?
Reflecting Class activity Questions for discussion Students: analyse how language reflects culture think about how responses to a scenario vary depending on the individual’s cultural beliefs and social position consider the effects of migration and travel on cultural perspectives identify general cultural patterns that flow across specific settings and times discuss how language use varies depending on the position and relationship of the speakers/ writer/ reader reflect on their own roles as language users, and how others would respond to their language choices present examples in the LOTE to demonstrate their language awareness describe some of their present understanding about culture (their own and the LOTE culture), and compare this with previously held views Teachers: promote reflection on linguistic and cultural concepts. create a multi-perspective, intercultural space for engaging with cultures, without students abandoning their first culture. How did/would you react to this situation? How did/would you interpret the writer/speaker’s meaning? Was the meaning different from what you expected? Why did you interpret this situation in this way? Which influences can you identify in this situation: culture? age? gender? social position? economic status? Does everyone from a culture always act in the same way? What kind of language would you use in this situation? What would the consequences of your language choice/response/reaction be? What are possible reasons why others respond in the way they do? Would you now have a new way of looking at the situation? Would you respond differently if in future you found yourself in this situation?

FACTORS DETERMINING FOOD CULTURE Geography and climate Human & natural resources Culture / lifestyle Economic conditions Techniques / Know how / Recipes Religion, customs & habits
FRENCH & INDIAN FOOD CULTURES FRENCH FOOD CULTURE INDIAN FOOD CULTURE Respect of tradition Wine tasting, passion for cheese Culture of tea, blending of spices Variety of regional cuisines Various ingredients and preparation techniques following local sourcing with fresh ingredients AOCs (controlled term of origin) are French certification granted to certain French geographical indications for agricultural products (wine, cheese, vegetables…) to protect them from falsification and attest of their authenticity and origin. These labels guaranty the quality and production standards of the selected products. To combat adulteration and falsification the tea board of India administers the Darjeeling certification mark & logo. Darjeeling Tea is cultivated, grown, produced, manufactured and processed in tea gardens in a selection of estates in the district of Darjeeling. Baguette is a staple food in France Breads are staple foods in India Anise based liquor as a refreshing drink during summers Anise is used as a mouth freshener at the end of meals.

Critical Questions about FOOD What do our attitude to food tell us about ourselves and our society? Why are there so many food diets across the globe? Why do we use our hands / fork & knives / chopsticks to eat? Why do we take 2, 3, 5 meals a day? => Food culture is the set of rules that naturally regulates the consumer’s relationship to food.
