Synopsis
A MICHIGAN TEACHER TRAINING title
Teachers are often in the forefront of today’s cross-cultural contact, whether in the language classroom or in the K–12 or university/college classroom, but they are not always prepared to handle the various issues that can arise in terms of cross-cultural communication. The intent of this book is to make education in cross-cultural awareness accessible to a broad range of teachers working in a variety of educational settings.
Crossing Cultures in the Language Classroom attempts to balance theory and practice for pre-service and in-service teachers in general education programs or in ESL/EFL, bilingual, and foreign language teacher training programs, as well as cross-cultural awareness workshops. This book is unique in that it combines theory with a wide range of experiential activities and projects designed to actively engage users in the process of understanding different aspects of cross-cultural awareness. The goals of the book are to help readers:
- expand cultural awareness of one’s own culture and that of others
- achieve a deeper understanding of what culture is and the relationship between culture and language
- acquire the ability to observe behaviors in order to draw conclusions based on observation rather than preconceptions
- understand and implement observations of cultural similarities and differences
- develop an attitude of tolerance toward cultural differences and move away from the “single story.”
