EduBoxes

Topic outline

  • General

  • Introduction

    What to expect

    The Educational Boxes (EduBox) are virtual containers containing a wide variety of English-language teaching materials on topics related to intercultural business communication.
    What is special about the materials is that they address different learning channels, can be flexibly used and expanded, and are based on the approach of competence-oriented teaching. They invite to question common intercultural approaches and to take up culturally reflective and network-oriented perspectives that enable to handle cultural diversity, to shape it productively and to use it as a resource. In this way, the materials support teachers in preparing students for a working world that is characterized by increasing complexity and diversity.
    All materials and media are freely accessible, can be adapted to the user's level of knowledge, and can be used in different learning settings. The EduBoxes contain scientifically based texts, slide sets, flowcharts, short videos, case studies, and assignments that encourage reflection and make it possible to develop approaches and synergies in dealing with diversity.

    Learning objectives
    The concept of the project is to focus not only on the heterogeneity of the learners but also on action and practice-oriented learning. For this reason, care is taken in the development of the teaching material to address very different learning channels and to bring both cognitive and affective learning into a balanced relationship. This is done, for example, by developing both photos and, in particular, complex illustrations for the teaching units (example Box 1, Session 1). Hands-on learning takes place primarily through applications in case studies and case studies, some of which have been and will be developed and tested for the project.

    Learning method

    A box contains different teaching units, so-called sessions. The basis of each teaching unit is a session plan and a set of slides. The session plan contains the title of the teaching unit, the learning objectives, outlines the content, lists sources and the individual slides with notes on the methodological approach. Thus, the session plan provides an overview of the materials already available for the particular teaching unit and can be easily expanded at any time.

    A session also features the following elements:

    1. Texts
    2. Educational films
    3. Exercises and case studies
    4. Assignments
    5. Reflection questions What is available in the teaching units can then be taken from the respective session plans.
