ACROSS CULTURES
Level: 9th grade, 1 class/ week
This course addresses 9th graders who study English as a first foreign language, one hour a week.
Enlarging their sphere of knowledge beyond the curricula was expected by our students.
The present optional course will provide further support for children’s interest in issues less insisted
upon in any textbooks their level: dialects, varieties of English, legends, customs, traditions; present- day
reference to each of these sections is also being made; but, most importantly, it is meant to provide enough
information as to enable them to compare and contrast between same generations, situated on the other sides
of the world. At the end of the course, students will have been able to state whether culture, civilization and,
implicitly, the foreign languages which allow us to get to know them can be considered passports.
Across Cultures, by Elizabeth Sharman- is one of the best cross-cultural course books; it has a wide range
of cultural information on topics such as civilization, literature, music, language, history, geography, society,
etc of the English-speaking world. I also strongly recommend it for FCE-preparation or for the Higher
Mature Exams.
The book is organized into modules and there is the possibility to focus particularly on one of the countries
mentioned.
Across Cultures is a new modular, flexible, user-friendly course which presents a wide variety of materials
on the English-speaking world. Traditional topics, such as geography and institutions, are fully covered,
along with the most up-to-date themes and topics.
The aid of the audio materials considered, the course is most likely to bring about excitement, enthusiasm
and the need for more.
