Intercultural Language
Activities offers practical teaching ideas which encourage learners
to reflect on their own language and culture, as well as that of
others.
Topics covered in the fourteen chapters include childhood, food,
sport, icons, politics and body language. The book also helps
learners mediate in situations of cultural misunderstanding and
start web-based intercultural exchanges. It examines interview
techniques, how people present themselves, and ways to interpret
cultural symbols and characteristics, such as those found in
postcards, advertisements and online newspapers. In engaging with
these topics, learners become intercultural explorers and raise
their level of communicative competence.
This is an invaluable resource for any teacher who wishes to combine
language learning with cultural exploration. In addition, the
accompanying CD-ROM provides print-friendly photocopiable worksheets
and reading texts which can be put to immediate use. |
