Originally designed for Japanese learners of English, this textbook has been developed for language learners who want to deepen their cultural understanding and enhance their ability to engage in intercultural communication. Drawing on frameworks developed by renowned scholars Geert Hofstede and Edward T. Hall, the book introduces key cultural concepts in a simplified and accessible way, with relevant content for young adult learners.
The exercises not only help students grasp fundamental cultural theories but also encourage them to reflect on their own culture, explain it in English, and compare it with cultures from around the world.
The book is divided into 12 units, each focusing on an essential aspect of culture. Each unit includes:
- Key vocabulary to support understanding
- A reading passage explaining the cultural concept
- Language exercises to reinforce learning
- Discussion activities to help students express ideas and use relevant phrases in English
- An optional presentation with a model example
Important vocabulary is systematically introduced and recycled throughout the book, helping learners build a strong foundation for discussing cultural topics with confidence.
By the end of the textbook, students will have a clearer understanding of cultural differences and be better equipped to communicate effectively in diverse cultural settings.
Online resources for students and downloadable and printable materials for teachers available at talkingaboutculture.com. A sample unit and additional information about the book can also be found there.
