Europa Magazine
Call for papers: Global
learning styles
Would you write an article
for the THIRD ISSUE OF OUR MAGAZINE?
The theme is Global Learning
Styles. We hope to receive inputs from people
in different countries, making this issue truly
intercultural.
As interculturalists,
we can provide real insight and support for trainers,
teachers, social workers, psychologists and anybody
facing the challenge of multicultural classrooms.
Other learning environments are becoming important
too. An intercultural perspective on learning
styles will of course also help us in our own
intercultural work.
Can you share your thoughts
on these questions:
- How do people learn in your culture?
- What kind of methods, techniques are most
successful?
- Are learning styles in any way global or
universal?
- How much does learning style depend on the
culture?
We look forward to receiving
your papers on these questions or on any of the
following themes:
- The transfer of know-how and knowledge in
a particular culture
- Do’s and Taboo’s in the learning
process / classroom
- Developing skills in intercultural / or “mono-cultural”
settings
- Global vs. Local learning style
- Economy and learning
- What an intercultural trainer needs to know
about learning styles
- Learning in a foreign language / intercultural
classroom in a lingua franca
- What are the meanings of the four main categories
of learning style in different cultures - how
are the categories interpreted?
- What is the validity of tests measuring learning
styles when used in different cultures
- How much do teaching/training techniques based
on the theory of learning styles differ from
culture to culture?
- Funny stories from training rooms around
the world
- Personal experience of SIETAR members
- Icebreakers and similar types of exercises
The potential authors
are also welcome to propose their own topics.
We hope that this issue
will create a debate and will result in interesting
and new insights.
Articles should be 1-3
pages of A4.
The deadline is March
25, 2007.
If you have any questions,
ideas or suggestions, please
contact me.
Hope to hear from you
soon,

About the editor

Karina
Holm Gabrielyan
Editor, SIETAR Europa Magazine
SIETAR Germany
I was born in USSR (Ukraine) in 1977. My
Mother is Russian / Ukrainian and my father
is Armenian, so I am a child of intercultural
marriage.
I graduated from
the Luhansk State Pedagogical University.
I am a teacher of English, Russian and World
literature / school counselor and translator.
I worked for a year in Ukraine teaching
English before moving to Denmark in 1999
to study, where I lived till 2004.
My MA is in Culture,
Communication, Globalization / English gained
from Aalborg University.
While studying
in Denmark, I also worked as an Area Sales
Manager at an international company, where
I was responsible for Sales to the Eastern
European markets.
Since July 2004
I have lived in Bonn where I teach languages,
run communications workshops, do translations
and work on project coordination.
Apart from all
this I did some extensive traveling around
Europe and the USA (I spent a year there)
and would like to continue to explore our
world. I am fascinated about diversity of
life and enjoy all kinds of 'interculturalism'
which is not only limited to interethnic
encounters in my understanding.
I speak three languages
in my daily life: German, English, Russian.
Sometimes by the end of the day I can't
speak any! but then it's good we still have
non-verbal communication left to express
some of our basic thoughts and ideas!
