Think of these strategies for intercultural communication competence, too:
1. Explore the subject "in the wild," on the street; outside the textbook or class setting. Primary exposure is a powerful basis for proceeding.
2. Personalize or quantify in other to grasp or encompass; for example, empty pockets and bags to spot things from other countries - the raw material, the "made in" label, the name of the thing or the historical frame (the source country for a given behavior -who came up with that idea/practices?).
3. Infuse across the curriculum so that everyone has a way to connect to the matter of intercultural differences.
4. Envision what the subject you strive for *would* look like. Think out loud; brainstorm. Go to next ripple in the expanding circle to consider all consequences, and from there consider implications that ripple out farther still.
5. Bring the phenomena into the classroom spaces to complement the earlier item of taking learners to the "wild habitat" for that subject matter.
