Teaching cross-culturally : an incarnational model for learning and teaching / [print] Judith E. Lingenfelter and Sherwood G. Lingenfelter. - Grand Rapids, Michigan : Baker Academic, 2003. - 134 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm



Teaching cross-culturally -- Hidden curriculum -- Understanding traditional learning strategies -- Formal schooling and traditional learning -- Intelligence and learning styles -- Role of the teacher -- Teaching for change -- False expectations -- Learning to teach cross-culturally.

This book is designed to complement Sherwood Lingenfelter's highly successful Ministering Cross Culturally. It takes similar insights and applies them specifically to an educational setting. It also guides readers with little understanding of cross-cultural challenges in ministry and helps them see how cultural sensitivity and effective teaching are inseparably linked. Chapters include discussions about how to uncover cultural biases, how to address intelligence and learning styles, and teaching for biblical transformation. It is ideal for the western-trained educator who plans to work in a non-western setting. - Publisher.
