Teaching Teens: Promoting Cross-Cultural Understanding

Living in a globalized world highlights new challenges and opportunities for both students and teachers. Besides trying to identify their tribe and determine where they belong, teenagers in English classrooms can be encouraged to better understand and interact with the different cultures of our plural world.
