[Jonathan Wylie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has some great starting points to begin a discussion with people about culture and culture learning. I highly recommend this book even if you are not going to teach culture in a classroom. Especially if you are looking for a framework for a beginning to understand culture.

I skimmed this one, but I'm not going to rate it. If you're a pre-service teacher, you might find it useful. If you've been teaching for 25 years and you read Diversity Pedagogy (Sheets), this book is unnecessary.

This feels a bit old.

how to get this book

[John Richard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably better to be read while one is teaching already, or creating a curriculum. A bit repetitive at times. Difficult to plod through as most has a very textbook feel. But some great points
