Publications on the National Standards

All teachers and language supervisors can benefit from this article endorsing a portfolio approach to teaching cross-cultural understanding. The author notes that even though the Standards stress the importance of learning culture, the profession has no tradition of assessing cultural understanding. She offers a concise overview of approaches to teaching culture from the 1970s to the present. Drawing on the Standards, she proposes a comparative approach for high school and college students; the Appendix provides concrete examples of how to use this approach.
