Intercultural Sourcebook Cross-Cultural Training Methods

This comprehensive book examines both the principal methods used in cross-cultural training and a selection of techniques and instructional devices. Six methods are examined in twenty articles: roleplays, contrast-culture training, simulation games, critical incidents, the culture assimilator, and case studies. In each, a lead article traces the development and use of the particular method; several articles then offer specific applications. Intercultural Sourcebook provides both a framework for conceptualizing the training methods covered and guidelines for applying them in one's own work.Each article is written by an experienced trainer; in fact, the author list comprises a who's who in the field. Thorough, practical and enlightening, this book will define the field for years to come. The Intercultural Sourcebook was worth waiting for. The clarity of its presentation, the scope of its coverage, and its bringing together some of the most experienced in the field offers us the most complete and up-to-date resource for our intercultural work. Put it on your 'must have' list. -Carolyn Ryffel, Cendant Intercultural Contents Acknowledgments Preface Introduction 1 Intercultural Training Design 2 Role Plays 3 Contrast Culture 4 Simulation Games 5 Critical Incidents 6 Culture Assimilator 7 Case Studies Epilogue About the AuthorsFowler, Sandra M. is the author of 'Intercultural Sourcebook Cross-Cultural Training Methods' with ISBN 9781877864292 and ISBN 1877864293.
