From NIMBY "Landeskunde" to "IMBY" Cultural Studies.
Husemann, Harald
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v6 n1 spec iss p73-78 1993
This paper shows how the opportunity to encounter the other culture "in my backyard" (IMBY) can be used in landeskunde. This approach moves away from landeskunde as piecemeal factual background information toward developing own-culture and foreign/target culture awareness in mixed groups of native language students. (Contains 15 references.) (Author)
