Cultural Perspectives and Influences of Teachers

Sunday, May 16th, 2010, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Roehl Sybing

This presentation details some of the findings from ongoing research exploring the views language educators hold about culture, the application of culture in the language classroom and the potential effects, positive or negative, on language learners. Whether or not it is a given that culture is inextricably linked to language proficiency, the presenter asserts that it is important to explore the nature of such connections when determining a path for language acquisition.
