Welcome to the "END" Instructional Method
“Expatriate / National Dialogue” tool or the “END”
Featuring the ONE-ON-ONE DISCUSSION instructional strategy
Each year, thousands of people uproot themselves and undertake work in a foreign country. They must adjust to their new surroundings in order to succeed. Responsible, insightful agencies, which place their workers abroad, recognize that these workers (expatriates) must be prepared for their projects prior to departure.
A training program is the usual preparation (CIL, 2003; Wight & Hammons, 1970). Accordingly, expatriates are asked to complete a pre-departure, intercultural- effectiveness training (IET) program; a program designed to develop their intercultural effectiveness skills and sensibilities.
One instructional technique (Bennett, Aston, & Colquhoun, 2000) that goes a long way in meeting this training goal is a one-on-one discussion between the expatriate (learner) and a person from the host country (national). I believe that the “Expatriate / National Dialogue” tool or the “END”, as described in the following presentation, provides the necessary framing for this instructional method.
