Teaching politeness in videoconferencing classes
Original language description
The presentation offers an insight into the structure and basic methodological principles used in delivering an international and cross-cultural course of English for students of law which is offered jointly to law students at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic and University of Helsinki, Finland. With the use of videoconferencing technology, the two groups of students meet in a virtual classroom in order to practice presenting, negotiating, debating, case studies and role-play. They also communicate outside the classroom via wiki in order to plan the sessions and practice their writing skills. The fact that the two groups of students are physically distant and communicate via the videoconferencing equipment makes the communicative situation slightly different from the traditional classroom. Apart from the obvious technical issues, there are certain psychological moments that can distract or even disable the intended communicative situation.
