Title: Teaching Culture in the 21st Century
Author: Norman Scott St. Clair
Language: English | 215 Pages | ISBN: 6207845544
Description:
Teaching Culture in the 21st Century presents the Process Model for Teaching and Understanding Culture (PMTUC), a practical framework for developing cultural competence that moves beyond lists of dos and don'ts, dimensions, and holiday activities. Treating culture as a system of beliefs and meanings, this book shows how cultural assumptions shape interpretation, communication, and decision-making. It offers educators a clear, coherent way to make these dynamics visible and discussable in their courses and programs.
Grounded in more than 30 years of higher education teaching, including 18 years of teaching culture at the doctoral level and experience working with international students from over 30 countries, this book links theory to practice. It introduces the theoretical foundations of PMTUC, including cultural syndromes, dimensional frameworks, and metaphorical perspectives, and explains how these concepts support phases of learning: self-awareness, comparative analysis, and metaphor construction. Through examples, activities, and illustrations, readers can see how to design curricula, facilitate dialogue, and assess growth in cultural understanding. This book addresses academic, professional, and community contexts and includes guidance for in-person, online, and hybrid environments.
Designed for teacher educators, classroom teachers, and corporate or military trainers, this book provides a flexible process that can structure courses, workshops, and institutional initiatives. By centering systems of belief and inviting learners to construct their own cultural metaphors, the book helps learners move from passive recipients of cultural information to active meaning-makers who are prepared to navigate the complexities of intercultural engagement. It is suited to courses on culture, diversity, leadership, and education today.
