TEFL – Teaching About Culture…But How Much?
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007A debate has developed over on one of my favorite EFL employment discussion forums, regarding how far one should go when bringing the idea of cultural points of view into the EFL classroom in foreign countries. The debate is right here.
The main topic being discussed is whether a homosexual male American teacher should not only bring up the topic of his homosexuality with his students, but also to discuss the stereotypes and ‘bigotry’ that exist in many countries towards people of a homosexual orientation.
