The book explores, from a variety of perspectives, the interrelationships between language and culture that have the most significant implications for the classroom and for the global community.

Each chapter is structured so that students will read about a topic,answer comprehension questions, consider relevant teaching scenarios, gather and analyze data in further readings,and pursue projects that require out-of-class research. The book also encourgaes the use of films to provide deeper cultural understanding and context for various issues. Three appendices-the family tree of languages, how languages are put together, resources for further reasearch and professional development-and a glossary are included.
