Abstract : Empathy-Building in the EFL Classroom
Empathy is considered crucial to intercultural communication. The presenter will first describe a study that examined a link between reading English haiku and empathy. This study found that reflecting upon English haiku over one semester led to a significant increase in the empathy levels of Japanese medical students. Next, the presenter will introduce activities that aim to increase empathy by making students aware of their own feelings, the feelings of others, and how to respond appropriately. Participants will leave this presentation armed with activities to help their own students become more empathetic communicators.
