Assuming a global context, Learning Across Cultures: Locally and Globally highlights theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and recommendations for educators working in diverse environments, providing a much-needed resource in today's turbulent times., It is refreshing indeed to find a book that so effectively bridges theory and practice. The themes it explores and the resources it provides are both contemporary and timeless. It has the potential to change the way educators think about their students, themselves, and the work they do. There is something for every reflective teacher, adviser, student support provider, and researcher in this book. It delivers on its promise to illustrate that effective learning across cultures, while complex, is not only possible but essential in today's world., A broader-based compendium of theory and practice that is useful for teachers, trainers, advisers, and facilitators in an array of intercultural learning contexts. Usable as a reader or a reference, this edition can help any practitioner who wants to improve intercultural education or training.
