[Key concepts: difference, communication, interpretation; Key processes: reflecting, decentring, clarifying]
(ACLMGC163)
Elaborations
- experimenting with Greek gestures and body language, considering which should and should not be used in interactions with others, for example, signalling downwards to beckon others
- making appropriate language choices with awareness of social situations, for example, using the polite plural form when speaking to people who are older or not familiar
- interacting, face-to-face or online, with members of Greek-speaking communities, describing the experience and reflecting on the most appropriate ways of interacting with Greek speakers such as an elderly person, or a recent arrival from Greece or Cyprus
- reflecting on how own cultural etiquette and behaviour may be interpreted when interacting with Greek speakers, noticing own body language and modifying gestures such as tilting head backward to indicate ‘no’
