Teaching Culture: A Study in the Portuguese Classroom. Implications for the National Standards.

Jernigan, Christine Galbreath; Moore, Zena

Hispania, v80 n4 p829-41 Dec 1997

Study investigated whether/how teachers of a team-taught college introductory course in Portuguese met National Standards on teaching of culture. Teachers met many of the standards, but students had few opportunities to develop perspectives on cultural patterns and products. Use of the term "native culture" and the complexity of cultural education were problematic. (Author/MSE)
