Critical Inicidents and Language Education in Wider Contexts

Original language description

Current technological development will no doubt influence the world of education and language teaching. Adequate approaches to balance the changing means of communication must be sought to meet the educational needs of students and prepare them to succeed in their future lives. While language teaching methodologies and approaches develop over time, the know-how needs to be integrated into language teaching and learning practice to fit modern educational standards. Critical incidents, i.e., vivid life events, meet the requirements for context-integrated, student-centered, self-motivational teaching aimed at learner autonomy and life-long learning. This study is based on a joint ‘Critical Incidents in Intercultural Communication and Promoting Diversity’ (CIICPD) project conducted under an international Erasmus+ in partnership with five higher education institutions (HEIs) from Germany, Austria, Italy, and Finland under the coordination of the Skoda Auto University (SAU) from Czechia. One sample CIs happening to a tertiary student during their social encounters in school and an internship setting were chosen to elicit a wide range of possible interpretations from 34 respondents, at least 6 from each partner research team, allowing for a profound and differentiated picture of potential socio-cultural variation of answers, including implications for language teaching and pedagogy. This text is an expanded study of this research with focus on one of the sample situations taking place in a language lesson. Interviews with ten Czech students, five male and five female, reflecting on the course of events of this situation were analyzed to identify country specific educational outcomes and implications for language learning. Keywords: Language education, teaching methodologies, 21st century skills, critical incidents, critical incident cycle
