The book presents teaching techniques and learning exercises developed by the Experiment in International Living (EIL) for use in programs of cultural awareness and intercultural communications. The EIL, located in Vermont, has been involved in international cultural exchange since 1932. It has arranged for student exchanges, has trained Peace Corps volunteers, and has instituted graduate and foreign-language programs. One major section of the book contains eight articles describing various conceptual approaches to the design of cross-cultural education from an experiential point of view. Included are suggestions for teaching communicative competence, designing an experiential exercise, applying experiential techniques to field situations, and using cross-cultural approaches in the teaching of American Studies in a college setting. Another major section presents 11 games or exercises related to cultural awareness. They range from specific techniques for language learning to ways of teaching global sensitivity in the classroom through simulation. Four articles about program and skill evaluation conclude the book. (Author/AV)
