This 90-page book is for language teachers, specifically ESOL teachers, who want to teach cultural awareness in a multicultural classroom. It outlines 20 teaching techniques, or lessons, which encompass the "intercultural adjustment skills" that bring us through four stages leading to cultural awareness. The four stages are: Recognition (non-judgmental observation), Acceptance/Rejection (coping with ambiguity), Integration/ Ethnocentricism (empathizing), and Transcendence (respecting). Each lesson is based on experiential learning and includes objectives, procedure, and synthesis.

KEYWORDS: Cross-cultural Communication, ESOL
