DeMatos A.M. et al. Intercultural Resource Pack. Latin American Perspectives

British Council, 2007. — 82 p.Andrea Morgado de Matos, Andrea Assenti del Rio, Nahir Aparicio, Sergio Mobilia, Teresa Martins.This Resource Pack provides practical activities for teachers to be used in the classroom primarily in Latin America, although these can be adapted to suit other international contexts, as a tool for understanding other cultures and promoting reflection in order to avoid cultural bias and challenge stereotypes.
The pack is divided in five sections: The Learner as Ethnographer, Cultural Values and Attitudes, Challenging Stereotypes, Critical Readings of Culture, The Media. Activities in each section contain a teacher’s note page and the activities page and specify a particular target group, level and age. Lessons are based on Latin American ethnographic study which represents an innovation to the Latin American ELT field. They provide for engaging students in a cross-cultural reflection for the purpose of learning English as a language of international and intercultural communication.
