Negotiating the Syllabus: A Win-Win Situation?
McDevitt, Barbara
ELT Journal, v58 n1 p3-9 Jan 2004
This article examines some of the issues that arise when two disparate cultures of learning engage with each other. It draws on various theories of language pedagogy and cultural appropriacy to suggest how such issues might be resolved. A snapshot of a specific teaching experience at a Gulf university is presented to illustrate some of these theories in action.
