CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATION -- AN ESSENTIAL DIMENSION OF EFFECTIVE EDUCATION (1987, revised 1990)

by Orlando Taylor, Ph.D.

This publication examines cultural differences which can lead to communication problems in the classroom, and suggests behaviors which affirm rather than devalue a student's cultural heritage. Since our educational institutions tend to reflect the norms and values of the majority culture, misunderstandings often caused by cultural differences can have a negative effect on the academic performance of minority students.
