Description:The stories of six veteran U.S. teachers who have studied about, taught, and lived in Japan and China show that intensive international experience can profoundly affect a teacher's life and work. Reflections about culture shock, friendships across borders, fundamental transformation and school reform recommendations are integrated with wonderfully creative pedagogies. Six U.S. teachers who lived and taught in Japan and China tell their stories with introspection and enthusiasm. Their experiences improved their teaching and contributed to their cultural awareness and empathy. How these teachers contribute to classroom practice abroad, how they develop personal friendships with their Chinese and Japanese hosts and colleagues, and how they begin to change their school environments upon returning to the U.S. clearly demonstrates the tremendous effects of their international experience. Frank portrayals of some of their difficult living conditions and reactions to culture shock caution those who would try this life and teaching adventure without adequate preparation. The book concludes with specific recommendations on preparation for such an experience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
