Communication Unbound
Coming to Know the Unknown: An Attitudinal Response

Prajna Pani, Ph.D., M.Phil. in English

Abstract

The possibilities for collaborative learning and virtual reality to enhance English language skills are currently attracting considerable academic interest. The teacher and the taught and the subject that is taught stay connected at a global level. The aim of the paper is to meet the challenges in international business to secure effective collaboration from employees who have different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The paper focuses on Communication Unbound, the way it relates to English language teaching and the position of non-native teachers of English and the strategies to empower them through ‘learning -to - learn’ approach.

Key Words: Useful Ignorance, Miscommunication, Awareness, Self Construct, Collaboration

The limits of my language stand for the limits of my world - Ludwig Wittgenstein

The paper outlines the experience of English teachers and attempts to address and circumvent the problems involved, and demonstrate a collaborative, learning-centered language environment. This suggests the potential to influence the learner’s attitude to language and to learning, increase motivation, and shape their experiences and actions in the classroom.
