1.1 Joseph E. Stiglitz (2002)- Closer integration of the countries and peoples of
the world brought about by the enormous reduction of costs of
transportation and communication, and the breaking down of artificial
barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge, and people
across borders.

system where students of all cultural backgrounds are provided with the
respect and recognition they deserve in the classroom.
2.2 Boutte (2008)- fostering both critical thinking and culturally sensitive
pedagogies to bring explicit attention to society-related cultural issues, in
hope to positively impact diverse learners in the classroom through giving
recognition to the barriers they may face through educational institutions.
2.3 O’Bryne and Smith (2015)- culturally marginalized students feel more
respected and comfortable in the classroom as they genuinely feel their
needs are being met and their voices are being heard.
2.4 Banks and Stark (2003)- skills, attitudes and commitments needed to be
reflective, moral and active citizens in a troubled global world. The
knowledge, skills, and commitments essential to take action to make the
world more just and humane.

an awareness and appreciation of different beliefs, appearances and
lifestyle. It promotes understanding reading multicultural books and stories
which provides cultural awareness of others; it provides a look at history,

understanding among different cultures.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOb. Point out key concepts of the different
aspects of social literacy-- effective communication, intercultural
communication, and prosocial communication.
Metalanguage
For you to demonstrate ULOb, you will need to have an operational understanding of the
following terms below.
1. Literacy. This encompasses the knowledge and skills students need to access, understand,
analyze and evaluate information, make meaning, express thoughts and emotions, present ideas
and opinions, interact with others and participate in activities at school and in their lives beyond
school. It is more than just the ability to read and write (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and
Reporting Authority, 2017).
2. Social Literacy. A person’s ability to interact, maintain and build relationships with others
(Universita Delle Libereta, 2012).
Essential Knowledge
In this part, you will be introduced to the different aspects of social literacy-- effective
communication, intercultural communication, and prosocial communication.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Areas of Communication
There are three areas of communication that you may want to practice.
1. Nonverbal Communication.
“The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.” – Peter F. Drucker
Wordless signals:
Facial expression
Eye gaze
Postures
Gestures
Tone of voice
2. Conversational Skills.
Conversation is a powerful tool that glues people together. It is a challenge for most
people who have social anxiety to start a meaningful conversation and keep them going.
3. Assertiveness.
It means expressing your point of view in a way that is clear and direct while still
respecting others (Center for Clinic Interventions, 2016).
PROSOCIAL COMMUNICATION
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
