Intercultural Skills in Action

Book excerpt: "Despite the increasing diversification of U.S. higher education, without intentional curricular planning by faculty, international students may not experience enriching intercultural interactions. This reality can be potentially mitigated by an intentional curriculum that complements English language instruction, such as that in Intercultural Skills in Action. Although traditional ESL/EFL textbooks have primarily introduced cultural topics at a knowledge level only, this textbook is designed to create meaningful opportunities for students to reflect on and practice intercultural skills in ways that are relatable in their daily lives and that can lead to a more satisfying U.S. academic experience."--From back cover.
