Chapter 1 defines terms basic to multicultural education, intercultural communication, and cross-cultural training. Chapter 2 discusses the theory of intercultural communication. Chapter 3 outlines the history of multicultural education and focuses on linguistic diversity. Chapter 4 contains a discussion of the multicultural curriculum and considers possibilities for infusing existing courses with multicultural perspectives. Chapter 5 studies the training of teachers for multicultural education competencies, reviews methods of teacher training, and offers specific applications of multicultural concepts in teacher education. Chapter 6 lists 30 teaching strategies drawn from the cross-cultural literature and adapted for teacher preservice and inservice training.
