The BEC progressively leads learners into broader and deeper local relationships as the learners advance through the learning levels with the associated community-based activities. Even as learners grow in local relationships, BEC helps them move through key areas of culture toward a thematic worldview understanding of the local culture and language community. This approach provides learners with a robust foundation for effective communication and language development work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of the BEC curriculum, learners who have followed the program will have cultivated many significant relationships in their new community as a part of identifying key themes of life in the worldview around them. In this sense, BEC acts as much more than a language learning program. Through this resource, cross-cultural workers grow to become a normal part of the life of the culture and language community: learning to understand, speak, read, write, and naturally interact in order to take an active and relevant role in people's lives for focused relationship-building and language development purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe BEC curriculum: -Explains the necessary foundations for deep communication -Provides a comprehensive scope, sequence, and time schedule for the entire trajectory of culture and language learning-Leads cross-cultural workers through successive levels of community-based activities that help them build deep relationships with others-Includes detailed, step-by-step learning plans for each level-Gives practical advice so that learners at any level can use the curriculum to continue to progress-Includes self-evaluation checklists for each level in order to monitor learner progress-Guides the learning process such that workers reach worldview-level communicative ability by the end of the curriculum\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Griffis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Griffis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218033705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Michael Griffis \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48449285390493,"sku":"9798218033705","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_49435aff-748b-404f-a14d-6cc3a0589302.jpg?v=1781631339","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/becoming-equipped-to-communicate-bec-9798218033705","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
