Thanks for the excellent material, Andrea and team!

The project for the production of the Intercultural Resource Pack aimed at developing Intercultural Competence in the ELT classroom in Latin America was carried out by a team of five ELT professionals from Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela who designed a number of activities each within their own teaching contexts.

The pack represents the outcome of a project proposal started at the Hornby Summer School Brazil 2006 where we had the opportunity to explore the concept of Intercultural Competence in depth, as well as its implications for the current ELT scenario.

The 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. It is intended to promote social awareness in Latin American students and teachers by encouraging social and cultural diversity through ethnographic study, which takes account of communication and interaction while it promotes critical cultural awareness by engaging students and teachers in critical readings of culture.

We have developed a website and a blog to make the activities of the pack available globally. All teachers are invited to use the activities, send us comments as well as participate in our forum discussions in the Intercultural Voices/Wordpress.

You can also access the activities at Teacher´s Resources.
