COMMUNICATION IN THE NEW MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Understanding How Language Works To Improve Our Communication And Relationships With Others

Since the 1970s, scholars from many disciplines have tried to focus their work on achieving greater awareness of the theme of Communication.
Thanks to many studies on Language and Communication, it has been understood that there is no right or wrong way to interact in interpersonal communication: We just speak differently.

Communication is complex and culturally shaped, there’s no single right way to speak. This course helps teachers understand how language and communication styles vary across cultures, genders, and social backgrounds. Drawing from linguistics, sociolinguistics, and anthropology, participants explore how people use language in daily life and how these differences impact conversations. The training focuses on cross-cultural communication, helping teachers recognize diverse conversational styles and avoid misunderstandings in school settings. Through practical activities and reflection, participants will gain tools to better interpret meaning, context, and external factors influencing communication. The course also addresses links between language, gender, power, and discrimination, offering valuable insight into how we speak and connect with others in multicultural classrooms.

Learning objectives

Understanding the importance of meaning in the communicative process and the role that context and so-called external variables play.
Knowing the meaningful connection between gender, power, and discrimination and the various factors that influence our language.
Exploring the importance of a cross-cultural approach to analyzing different conversational styles in order to better understand what is behind individuals’ conversations.
Developing a greater awareness of communication and how conversational styles are influenced by gender as well as other cultural, social, and experiential factors.
Developing practical experience and skills to apply effectively intercultural communication according to different needs and contexts

Methodology & assessment

Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

JUMP provides, after the completion of the course, all presentations, training materials and any other digital and learning tools used during the training sessions. Furthermore, extra materials are sent if there are updates and new ones researched afterwards.
