  host family survival kit: Transforming Education for Peace Jing Lin, Edward J. Brantmeier, Christa Bruhn, 2008-06-01 Currently, peace education remains marginalized in our education system, however, a united front can be formed and powerful paradigms can empower educators to play a critical role in peace building through scholarship, practice and activism.

  host family survival kit: Improving Intercultural Interactions Richard W. Brislin, Tomoko Yoshida, 1993-12-29 As the editors of this volume point out, one certainty in life is that people must interact with others from very different cultural backgrounds--whether or not they are prepared to do so. The modules in this volume encourage productive and effective intercultural interactions in business, educational, social, and health services settings. Each module--a collection of materials for cross-cultural training programs--has a similar structure. They all have a combination of experiential exercises, self-assessment instruments, traditional text material describing concepts and the research methods necessary in using a given module, and case studies and/or critical incidents. Among the subjects Improving Intercultural Interactions addresses are gender relations in the workplace, intercultural education at the university level, intercultural communication for health care professionals, multicultural counseling, and nonverbal behavior in intercultural interaction. Improving Intercultural Interactions is a valuable resource for consultants, counselors, personnel officers, and others who offer various kinds of cross-cultural training programs. It is also useful as a supplemental text in graduate and undergraduate courses dealing with culture and behavior. The present volume . . . aims at supplying not only valuable ideas and ideals but most of all practical guidelines to all those interested in carrying out satisfactory training programs. --Language, Culture, and Curriculum An excellent practical guide to intercultural sensitivity, in the business world; elementary, secondary, and tertiary level schools; and social service and health delivery agencies. Each chapter provides opportunities for self-assessment, cases, critical incidents, constructs that can develop skills in analyzing intercultural situations, opportunities to practice these skills, and field exercises to test the newly acquired sensitivity. It increases awareness of culture and cultural differences, provides facts that can help adjustment, suggests ways to feel appropriately for interaction with members of other cultures, and opportunities to identify and practice skills that can assist in adjustment to other cultures. --Harry C. Triandis, University of Illinois Improving Intercultural Interactions represents the next step forward in resource books for trainers, teachers, professors, organizational developers and the like who are in constant need of upgrading the results of their cross-cultural training programs. . . . It presents sequences of training processes from self-assessment and critical incidents through the development of an understanding of cultural concepts and frameworks to exercises targeted to cause the learner to experience and practice an array of behaviors or actions in appropriate cross-cultural problem situations. The fact that each of the books′ modules ends with suggested actions based on specific examples helps lead the learner to a position where he or she can develop personally and culturally relevant strategies for their workplace situation. This book will serve as a resource for persons in culturally diverse work situations, whether it be business, education, health, or a broad array of other public and private organizations. --Sheldon Varney, University of Hawaii at Manoa

  host family survival kit: Distant Mirrors Philip R. DeVita, 2015-12-16 Most young students of American culture believe many of the cultural assumptions they grow up with are universal. As insiders, speaking a common language, following the accepted patterns of behavior embedded in a particular way of life, most of us take our own social actions for granted, and it is a challenge to realize the strangeness and wonder of our own behaviors. The distinct aim of each edition of this popular classroom supplement has been to enable students to better understand themselves by casting American culture into sharper relief—offering other mirrors, other reflections. The latest edition’s twenty-one personalized narratives, of which seven are new, unveil fresh portrayals of American culture. Each contribution offers unique ethnographic perspectives of various aspects of American culture that enable us to better understand ourselves.

  host family survival kit: Mobilité Erasmus et communication interculturelle Mathilde Anquetil, 2006 Comment éviter que les finalités du programme Erasmus, visant à renforcer les interactions dans l'espace pluriculturel de la citoyenneté européenne, ne se dissolvent dans une routine de gestion d'hôtes passagers sur les territoires universitaires nationaux ? Cet ouvrage développe et élabore l'hypothèse que les « dispositifs d'accompagnement » de la mobilité doivent sortir des paradigmes de l'assistance, de l'inculcation ou d'une simple délégation à l'expérience. Dans cette optique, il est nécessaire d'établir des objectifs définis, susceptibles de reconnaissance dans un cursus académique qui acquiert ainsi une véritable « dimension européenne ». Il ne s'agit pas de juxtaposer les séjours à l'étranger mais de créer méthodiquement des lieux tiers d'échange et de confrontation où se co-construisent et s'exercent les compétences interculturelles des sujets de la rencontre. L'analyse rend compte d'une recherche-action de petite échelle, menée à l'Université de Macerata (Italie) sur la base d'une enquête contextuelle et d'un état des lieux de ce nouveau champ pédagogique au niveau international. Un laboratoire transversal sur la mobilité s'est constitué pour l'expérimentation de parcours didactiques originaux visant à complexifier la dynamique identitaire par intégration de la différence.
