Cultural Awareness LITERACY · 6TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Learning a language means learning how it is used, since the same words can be polite or rude depending on context. Directness varies: a request that sounds efficient in one culture sounds abrupt in another, which is why many languages use longer, more indirect forms for requests to strangers. Gestures do not transfer, and a hand signal that is friendly in one country is offensive in another. Concepts of punctuality, personal space, and how much silence a conversation can hold differ measurably between places. Cultural awareness is not memorising a list of rules but expecting difference, observing before assuming, and asking rather than guessing, which is also the least likely approach to give offence. Questions: 1 Why do many languages use indirect forms for requests? 2 Why do gestures not transfer between cultures? 3 What does cultural awareness actually involve? www.littleactivity.com 6th Grade · Literacy
