Publisher's Synopsis
This text is part of the "Pathfinders" series for language teachers. The book offers an approach to cultural awareness. It explores how opportunities can be created, without leaving the country, which gives learners access to the lives, concerns and environments of people living in other countries.;The book suggests strategies for approaching this area, which start with the learners themselves, looks at methods of collecting reliable evidence of a way of life and how learners may then make up their own minds about what this "evidence" means to them. It also offers ways into leaner explorations of conventions and modes of behaviour which can develop learners skills and improve their communicative competence.;These strategies are exemplified by over 20 school projects carried out throughout Europe, containing many ideas and practical tips and experience, which classroom teachers may develop and apply to their individual situations.
