Who’s on First: An Exercise on Workplace Communication

Abstract: This fun and interactive session will explore the benefits and challenges of showing a classic Abbott and Costello comedy routine to a group of international students who were unfamiliar with baseball. We will show a clip from the comedy routine and have participants identify the various barriers to communication illustrated in the video. Participants will also discuss whether they have had similar challenges adapting their teaching materials to an international audience.
