VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In today's educational context, students not only come from different family backgrounds, but also diverse cultural
situations. There are several ways in which teachers can deal with the increasing cultural diversity of classrooms.
These strategies will encourage all students' cultural awareness, and foster students' involvement in the classroom
community.
To promote cultural awareness in the classroom, the teacher starts with understanding each student. It's necessary
to learn about each student's cultural background, hobbies, and learning styles. Demonstrating a genuine interest in
learning about each student and their culture will help establish trust and allow you to form a bond with them so
they feel valued. If students feel appreciated by the teacher and their peers, there's a better chance they'll feel
comfortable to talk with and respect others in the class.
Aside from getting to know your students, teachers should also continue to maintain ongoing communication
throughout the semester or school year. Scheduling regular and personal meetings with students will help you be
sympathetic towards your students. Students can talk about whether they felt included in the classroom culture.
It's also important for students to celebrate and respect their own diverse backgrounds, as well as each other's.
When appropriate, teachers should encourage students to research and learn about their own ethnic and cultural
backgrounds. This allows them to better understand their own culture as well as the differences with their peers.
This can be one of great ice-breaking activities, allowing students to give presentations about their family
traditions.
