Interpersonal Communication
![Page 13: Building Communicative and Cultural Competence](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568151c4550346895dbff7d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assign a Research TopicFor this project, I allowed my students to pick
one of five countries that have popular exchange programs in local universities and colleges:
ArgentinaCosta RicaEcuadorPeruSpain
![Page 14: Building Communicative and Cultural Competence](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568151c4550346895dbff7d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CollaborationOnce students have picked their country, I
allowed them to group with other students who had also picked the same country.
Collaboration is a 21st century skills that we must promote in our language classes

THE PRESENTATIONFor this, I used an interpersonal mode of
communicationFor this particular projects, students shared
their projects with one partner at a time

What Challenges Does CBI Present?
•It is much more challenging in the lower levels
•Students may feel confused and overwhelmed; Deal with this by offering language and vocabulary instruction
![Page 19: Building Communicative and Cultural Competence](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568151c4550346895dbff7d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Authentic Sources
It can be difficult to find resources in the target language at the proper level
Deal with this by allowing students to do their research in English and adapt it to the target language for their presentation
What Challenges Does CBI Present?

What Challenges Does CBI Present? It is hard to teach with CBI, if you are tied
to the book or to a specific set curriculum set by your district or your school
