Cultural Stereotyping

Conversation - B1-B2 | Intermediate Level

Description

We all know stereotypes can be funny, awkward, or even harmful, but where do they come from? And how do they affect the way we see others (or ourselves)?

In this session, we will:
- Reflect on how cultural assumptions show up in everyday life
- Share and laugh about stereotypes you've heard about your country (and others!)
- Learn to challenge bias while still having fun with differences

By the end, you'll feel more confident talking about culture and identity, and have new tools to respectfully navigate cross-cultural communication.

Questions list

1. What stereotype do people usually have about your accent or language?

2. Is there a stereotype about another culture that you used to believe?

3. How do you feel when someone makes assumptions about you?

1. What are cultural stereotypes, and why do they exist?

2. Do you think stereotypes are always negative? Why or why not?

3. How does humor help (or hurt) when talking about sensitive topics?

4. How can we become more aware of our own cultural biases?

5. What are some stereotypes foreigners might have about your culture?

6. How can we respond kindly when someone stereotypes us?

7. Do you think media influences the way we stereotype other cultures?

8. What’s the difference between celebrating a culture and stereotyping it?
