Exercises in Cross-Cultural Communication for Teachers of English to Spanish Speakers. Handout Series.
Bauder, Thomas A.
Presented here are a series of classroom exercises in cross cultural communication for teachers of English to students whose native language is Spanish. These classroom exercises focus on a variety of topics including: (1) the definition of a culture; (2) stereotypes; (3) cultural conceptions of space and time; (4) societal values; (5) interpersonal relations; (6) societal change; and (7) language differences in English and Spanish. This guide stresses that in an effective language class, the values, beliefs, and behavior of the culture in which the language is spoken must be discussed, explained, and understood. (Author/APM)
