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.
