In our globalized world, ideas are constantly being exchanged between people of different cultural backgrounds. But educators often struggle to adapt to the contexts of diverse learners. Some focus so much on content delivery that they overlook cross-cultural barriers to effective teaching. A lack of cultural sensitivity can undermine educators’ credibility, distort their message, and threaten the fruit of their ministry.

This course is intended to help teachers understand the way people in different cultures learn so they can adapt their teaching for maximum effectiveness. It will enable them to navigate cultural differences and strategies to both understand and bridge cultural divides in the classroom.

Western-trained educators or missionaries who plan to work in a non-western setting, those who teach in increasingly multicultural settings, and non-western teachers will greatly benefit from taking this module.
