Streamlined version of an effective learning tool
Here is a book that provides the foundation for effectively managing the experiential learning process of students studying abroad. More streamlined than its predecessor (THE WHOLE WORLD GUIDE TO CULTURE LEARNING - see separate entry), it constitutes a framework for sorting through the dynamics of the study abroad experience. The first chapters remain essentially intact, laying the groundwork for comprehending the nature of culture learning, intercultural communication and cross-cultural adaptation. They also examine the attitudes and character traits that foster effective learning, offer a clearly defined action-reflection-response methodology for dealing with intercultural experiences, and provide a method of cross-cultural analysis. This section ends with a discussion -- rarely encountered in the literature on study abroad -- on ethics, values, and the dilemma of cultural relativism, for which the author suggests solid guiding principles.
In this abridged edition, fifteen of the most substantive guides (of the original fifty-four) have been selected as self-instructional units. They can be used in study abroad programs before, during, or after the experience. See also listing for the unabridged edition: "The Whole World Guide to Culture Learning."
In the end, what we have is a text which provides a thorough review of the culture learning process -- which is central to the experience of studying abroad -- accompanied by a set of carefully selected practical application, all of which will greatly enrich any study abroad program.

The publisher, Peter Lang Publishing
This book is about culture shock and the writing process. For an exchange student, the relationship between writing and the challenge of living in a foreign culture may not be obvious. The purpose of Writing Across Culture is to document and analyze the connection. If culture can be broadly defined as the unwritten rules of everyday life, one effective method for learning these rules is to write about them as they are discovered. In this way, it is possible to see writing as a tool for cultural inquiry and comprehension, and, hence, an antidote for culture shock. This book encourages its readers to become writers engaged in a dialogue between the individual and the new society about everyday cultural differences.

The number of foreign students attending universities in the United States has expanded and their role has become a topic for research.

This bibliographical volume provides a comprehensive overview of the research that has been done on these subjects and points out the areas which have thus far been neglected by the researchers.
