[QUOTE="BCP1928, post: 77639259, member: 454149"] I don't see what you are getting at. In A, I use my cross cultural knowledge to improve my teaching In B, I am using the specified language of instruction.Though I will cheat sometimes. For example, people often struggle with the concept of percentage, not having realized that "percent" is just a Latin word for an ordinary fraction with a denominator of 100. With Hispanics, the concept is easy to get across because the Spanish phrase for "percent" is almost identical to the phrase for "over 100." In general, though, sticking to the language of instruction is important, because the overall goal is learning the subject [I]in that language. [/I]We had a Turkish exchange student when my kids were in high school. She had already finished secondary school in Turkey but she wanted to be an engineer and for some strange reason the language of instruction in Turkish engineering schools is English. So she came to America for a year and took math, physics and chemistry over again in English to become fluent in the vocabulary. [/QUOTE]
