I used the “Understanding Miscommunication” activity with a small group of students who volunteered to participate in this test drive of the tool. The students seemed to really enjoy this activity as it encouraged them to consider why miscommunication happens and begin to ask questions about how cultural differences might impact miscommunication. Additionally, the reflection encouraged students to consider how they can respond to situations where miscommunication has happened. Given the nature of the conversations we were going to have, I chose to do this activity with a small group of five people. My reasoning was that students might be a bit more resistant to speak up about certain scenarios if there were too many people in the group, and I found that doing this activity with such a small group was very effective! I think this activity can work well in a larger group, however, you might consider breaking the large group up into smaller groups so they can discuss each scenario you present, and then have everyone come back as a larger group to discuss. Certain scenarios seemed to challenge students a bit more when it came to thinking about it in the context of cultural differences, so sometimes students shared they wanted a bit more context. However, this activity also helped them take a step back and consider multiple scenarios rather than jumping to conclusions. I think this activity would work well in conjunction with several other activities on the Hub regarding communication styles and miscommunication. Overall, I really enjoyed this activity and plan to incorporate it in one of my predeparture meetings with my study abroad students next semester!
