Foreign Language
Part of comprehending and learning a language includes understanding and appreciating the culture in which that language is used. Educators can help foster this understanding and appreciation by incorporating multicultural teaching materials in their classroom. Using multicultural teaching materials in a class could include integrating diverse classroom visual aides and media, encouraging assignments that include culture along with language study, and provide students an opportunity to explore the cultural background of the language they are studying. The following are links that provide valuable examples and concepts to include when planning multicultural lessons.
