Strategies for Developing Cultural Awareness in the Business French Class.
Walsh, Cathleen
The technique used by one teacher to incorporate cultural sensitivity into the business French course is described. Cultural orientation begins in the first class meeting with a discussion of shapes and symbols. Discussion proceeds to the hexagon, a geographic, cultural, and linguistic symbol for France. A discussion of French geography and a comparison of French centralization and American decentralization ensues. Modules that provide examples of how culture affects business are integrated into the curriculum throughout the course. Module topics include: human resources; real estate; and international commerce. Content and design of the modules are described briefly, and some supplementary materials used in them are noted.
