Abstract | Managing learning, when associated with communication behavior, has been described as being teacher power strategies that either "cover" the goals set to meet classroom tasks; or use "critical" analysis of power relations between students and teacher. This paper suggests that neither method of classroom management is useful for multicultural public speaking classrooms because of: (1) a failure to address the macrocultural issues such as institutional goals plus culturally diverse students' needs for global communication skills; and (2) microcultural issues such as building shared meaning amongst students and between teacher and students as they participate in collaborative public speaking interactions. Also, the paper advocates a "hover" strategy in which students and teacher produce a "reciprocal relationship" amongst themselves by using indigenous communication methods focusing on Aztec, Brazilian, Shoshone-Gabrielino, Third-World Culture's Dialectical Theology, African American, and Native-American Indian "alternation" processes of developing cultural communication competence as a two-way street. The paper concludes by describing how to use student analysis speeches to identify common ground from which to facilitate "cross credibility" competency-based collaborative research, arrangement, presentation and evaluation of problem-solving group discussions that arrive at culturally diverse students' defined solutions for mutual benefit in their shared environment. Appendixes present an intercultural communication model; a Native-American listing of speech communication, ESL, and English courses; evaluation forms; an outline format for panel presentations; and a form for a video review of a problem solving discussion. Contains 20 references. (Author/RS) |
