9. Redundancia Cultural Competency Simulation Redundancia is a short simulation activity intended to give you an idea of how it feels to speak a new and unfamiliar language. Everyone will have an opportunity to speak and listen to Redundancia language, as well as to observe others communicating in the language.

10. Redundancia Activity: Introducing Redundancia The Redundancia Simulation Small Group Discussions Large Group Discussion & Summary

11. Redundancia Objectives: Increased empathy for people from different linguistic backgrounds Increased awareness of the changes in our behavior and our reactions' when communicating in a foreign language Learn how language ability influences perception Discover methods for enhancing accuracy of communication in non-native language Comprehend how emotions may modify, interfere with, or assist in communication in foreign language

12. Redundancia Stimulation: In a group of 3, select one person to be the initial speaker, one the initial listener and one the initial observer. You will have the opportunity to participate in all roles. When we begin the exercise, the speaker will talk for about 2 minutes on any topic he/she desires, but using the Redundancia language. The listener may not talk, but is allowed to encourage the speaker in a non- spoken way. The observer should focus on the interaction between the other two participants. When time is called, without talking, write your thoughts of the role you just played. We will rotate roles and repeat the exercise two additional times.

13. The Redundancia Language The Redundancia language is based on English, but with the addition that whenever a verb is used, it must be doubled by use of a synonym. For example, instead of saying, “ I walked my dog,” you would say, “ I walked/ exercised my dog.” You will use two verbs with a similar meaning every time you need a verb in a sentence. For example, “ I got out of bed/arose and stumbled/plodded to the kitchen. I brewed/perked some coffee and made/cooked breakfast.” Now don’t you think/believe that speaking Redundancia should appear simple? Choose /select any topic you prefer/desire and let’s begin/start the exercise.

14. Redundancia Debrief: As a Speaker: ( Talk on a simple topic for 3 minutes using the Redundancia language) What did I do? How did I feel? As a Listener: ( Be attentive and encouraging to the speaker) What did I do? How did I feel? As an Observer: (Make sure the speaker is using Redundancia language. Note how the speaker behaves) What makes communication successful? What makes communication difficult? One thing I can do in order to be a better listener when a person is speaking in a second language

15. Lessons from Redundancia When communicating in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable language both behavior and our reactions to others’ behaviors change. Our perception of overall intelligence and competence is influenced by language ability. You can learn techniques that enhance the accuracy of communication in a non-native language Emotions may modify, interfere with, or assist in the process of communication in an unfamiliar language.
