INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITY IN EDUCATION
Abstract
The development of intercultural sensitivity necessitates consideration of the learner's subjective experience. The way that learners interpret cultural differences is the key to developing such sensitivity and associated intercultural communication abilities. This article proposes a spectrum of phases of personal growth that enable trainers to assess the degree of receptivity of individuals and groups and to select content in accordance with a developmental strategy. The ethnocentrism to developmental continuum is in motion. The parochial denial of difference, the evaluative defense against difference, and the universal viewpoint of minimizing of difference are defined in earlier stages of the continuum. The acceptance of difference, adaptation to difference, and integration of diversity into one's worldview are later phases
