Cere, Ronald
This paper proposes and describes a method of developing a special-purpose foreign language culture course providing cross-cultural training for professionals working in bilingual and bicultural settings. The following points are discussed: (1) ways of ascertaining the need for and the most appropriate type of cross-cultural training; (2) objectives and general content areas; (3) an outline of a model syllabus; (4) the types of educational strategies and instructional techniques most suitable for cross-cultural training; and (5) course evaluation methods. Emphasis is placed on defining teacher and student roles and on program design. Appended materials include a sample questionnaire for determining Spanish language students' intercultural education needs; a sample syllabus and course outline; a course description; a list of requirements; and details of student evaluation criteria for a Spanish intercultural course.
