backcover information:

Bringing together some of the best and most insightful writing and scholarship in the field of intercultural education and training, Education for the Intercultural Experience is based on two fundamental premises: (1) intercultural experiences are emotionally intense and profoundly challenging and (2) education for intercultural experience requires content and pedagogy radically different from traditional instructional practices.

With an emphasis on experiential learning, the authors of these eleven substantive works range widely over the critical dimensions of intercultural experience and the educational and training response to it. Included are classic studies of culture shock, intercultural sensitivity and cultural marginality and thoughtful articles on cross-cultural training and orientation, trainer competencies and training outcomes, intercultural adjustment and reentry, and the culture assimilator.

Originally appearing in two long-out-of-print and hard-to-get publications, these articles and essays have been revised and updated by the authors under the capable editorial guidance of Michael Paige. They now constitute a major contribution to the intercultural field.
