What challenges would you face if your teacher is from another culture?

Question

Jus tell me 2 or 3 challenges

Answer 1

According to me it's not a challenge, it's also a knowledge that can be gained by his/er culture. As first of all culture is also a knowledge.

Answer 2

1. Understanding the accent.

2. Different beliefs in discipline, especially if the teacher is from a country that allows corporal punishment in the school and does not know it is illegal here.

3. Cultural differences affecting the way the teacher treats the students.

If the teacher comes from a country where females are considered inferior, and males superior, it might affect the way the boys and girls of this teacher's classroom are treated.

Another example of this is eye contact. As an educator, I always treated my students with the utmost respect, and expected nothing less from them. One of the things I expected from them was eye contact when they were speaking to me. When the nationality of the children in the school I taught in began to change over the years, I began to notice many children having a difficult time doing this.

It turned out that in the culture these children were coming from, it was considered rude for children to look the adults in their eyes. They were trying so hard to follow proper manners as they were taught at home, and since I was unaware of this fact, thought that they were simply being rude to me.

Even simple things such as hand gestures and finger gestures can be misinterpreted by student or teacher. A simple thumbs up in our country can be considered a huge insult in another. Similarly, an innocent gesture in another country could be considered rude here.

Answer 3

Okay, I know that this is going to sound really racist so please forgive me for this but I have to say it: they may have an accent that is hard to understand. I'm not specifying any accents so don't take it the wrong way, but sometimes if someone has a strong accent that is very different to yours then it can be hard to understand what they are saying and you may not be able to learn as much.
Another challenge could be if they had different beliefs and you were in a class where your personal beliefs effected what you were learning. For example a sex education class (promiscuity vs abstinence), or a science classroom (evolution vs creationism).
