In this post I'm going to reflect upon the fourth lesson of Communicative skills as a European Teacher in which I'll give an example of the Three Step Method.
Step 1: getting to know ones own norms, values and behavioural codes.
Step 2: getting to know the norms, values and behavioural codes of the others (opinion ≠ fact).
Step 3: determining how to deal with the observed differences in the given situation.
A teacher Dutch gave her pupils a test about verbs. They had to decline the word 'verantwoorden'. One pupil had written 'hij antwoordt' instead of 'verantwoordt'. The teacher saw this as an incorrect answer. That was inadmissible, because the pupil knew 'derde persoon enkelvoud: stam + t', which was the purpose of the test. The teacher didn't deviate her notion, so she made the limits clear to the other party. The pupils and the teacher tried to have an agreement about the marks.
