Abstract

Nowadays, with the advance of technologies, teaching-learning activities are more and more geared towards student-centered modes. Students are expected to actively engage in the teaching-learning activities by finding most of the materials and doing the tasks in their own time, using their own devices. One of the consequences of the student-centered teaching models is the implementation of teaching techniques that require the students to do much of the learning outside of class hours and do discussions and explanations during class time. This paper will explain a learning model called RADEC, which stands for Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create, and provide a sample lesson conducted using the model. I applied this model in my CCU, or the Intercultural Communicative Competence class, as it is now called, in the even semester of 2021/2022. The RADEC model was implemented in three topics, i.e., Culture shock, Friendship across Cultures, and Education systems. The students had to create different final assignments for each topic: a video recording for Culture Shock, a report essay for Friendship across Cultures, and a PowerPoint presentation for the Education system.
