safiyah teaches at a local florida college. she wants her classes to be lively and full of class discussions. she encourages her students to speak up, challenge one another, and express creativity. over the summer semester, she is offered a position to teach in a different country. when she walks in to the first day of class, she finds that her students are very quiet and do not prefer her normal style of teaching. they are used to having the teacher to be the expert that they must learn from. which intercultural dialectic is this illustrating?
cultural/individual
privilege/disadvantage
personal contextual
differences/similarities

Explanation:

This scenario shows how teaching norms (a contextual factor tied to culture) clash with Safiyah's personal teaching style. The Personal-Contextual dialectic focuses on the tension between an individual's personal preferences/habits and the contextual norms of a different cultural setting. Here, Safiyah's personal approach (lively, discussion-based) conflicts with the contextual expectation of the new culture (teacher as sole expert, quiet students).

Answer:

Personal Contextual
