Cross Cultural Understanding | iii
Foreword
In teaching English as
second language or foreign
language, students are usually confronted with so many ideas of
strange cultural items. This condition
somehow also influences
their motivations, their willingness and their interest in studying
the language. We consider this
condition as a drawback we
should omit. As teachers, then, we compose this book as a means
to help students understand western cultures.
This book consists of eleven chapters. Chapter I discusses
the relation between Language
and Culture which is then
followed by General American Values for the Chapter II.
Stereotypes comes at Chapter III where
we can find discussion
about certain ‗label‘ given to certain people from certain country.
Chapter IV shares Intercultural Communication and Non-Verbal
Communication is for Chapter V. Culture
Shock as the initial
feelings we find when touching other cultures‘ environment. It is
continued by Cultural Conflict as Chapter VI. Male and Female
Relationship, Table Manner and Hotel
Tour are the rest of the
Chapters.
