Current work examines the relation between language and thought as illuminated by language variation (see Space and Event Representation projects), the neurocognitive bases for spatial distinctions (see Space project), and the relationships between culture, cognition and human social interaction (see Multimodal Interaction project, Gesture Centre ).

NATIONAL CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE REPORT: 8 INTEGRATING LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AMERICAN HISTORY CLASSES DEBORAH J. SHORT CENTER FOR APPLIED LINGUISTICS OVERVIEW This report describes preliminary findings from a study examining school American history classes with English language learners. The study has investigated the construction of social studies knowledge in these and the development and implementation of lessons that address the and educational backgrounds of the learners while integrating language content, and culture objectives. After briefly describing some features studies language, revealed through analyses of classroom discourse books, this report focuses on the implementation of several lessons project-developed unit, "Protest and the American Revolution." Attention is paid to teacher accommodations, student oral and written participation, infusion of multicultural issue and perspectives. INTRODUCTION This educational practice report describes an ongoing research project investigating middle school social studies classes with English language learners (ELLs) . The project is examining ways in which social studies knowledge is constructed in middle school classrooms with students who are learning English as a second language, and the linguistic and cultural competencies students need to engage effectively in this domain of discourse and reaming. Specifically, we have been investigating ways in which classroom teachers of social studies strengthen the academic language competence of English language learners, develop and implement lessons sensitive to the cultural and educational backgrounds of the students, and explore the knowledge students bring to the social studies classroom in order to promote them as multicultural resources. Through classroom observation, the study is also identifying effective instructional practices used to guide students to accomplish socially and academically meaningful tasks.

APA Guidelines for Providers of Psychological Services to Ethnic, Linguistic, and CulturallyDiverse Populations Introduction There is increasing motivation among psychologists to understand culture and ethnicity factors in order to provide appropriate psychological services. This increased motivation for improving quality of psychological services to ethnic and culturally diverse populations is attributable, in part, to the growing political and social presence of diverse cultural groups, both within APA and in the larger society. New sets of values, beliefs, and cultural expectations have been introduced into educational, political, business, and health care systems by the physical presence of these groups. The issues of language and culture do impact on the provision of appropriate psychological services. Psychological service providers need a sociocultural framework to consider diversity of values, interactional styles, and cultural expectations in a systematic fashion. They need knowledge and skills for multicultural assessment and intervention, including abilities to: recognize cultural diversity;

31. Cross-Cultural Communication - Culture, Communication And Language Sociolinguists examine social and cultural influences on language behavior. In order to avoid generalizations and stereotypes about cultural groups, http://www.maec.org/cross/4.html

Chapter III: Culture, Communication and Language Now that your "cultural eye" has been sharpened, let us look at how culture influences students' language skills and their learning of standard English, the language of education. The concept of communicative competence (Hymes, 1962), based on one's knowledge of the rules of language structure and language use within a given culture, will be useful. A major responsibility of teachers at all grade levels is to teach the language and communication skills needed for academic success, and for career and social mobility. Many students come from cultures which use different, though valid, communication and language systems from what is considered "normal" in the classroom. The study of sociolinguistics can help us understand different systems as a means of improving the quality of our instruction in language and the communication arts.

32. Imagery In Cross Imagery and language in contrast. general market or mainstream US Imagery isstrongly tied to culture, and language and culture cannot be separated. http://www.hamcr.com/imagery.htm

Imagery in cross-cultural research By Felipe Korzenny Betty Ann Korzenny and Sandra M.J. Wong Imagery investigation - uncovering the images consumers have of products - has become an important aspect of marketing research. It's a technique that seems to work well with U.S. consumers, most of whom speak English and share social and cultural reference points. Studying product imagery across cultures, on the other hand, is complicated. There is an unfortunate tendency to oversimplify imagery research when it is conducted with consumers who don't speak English. Simply translating a general market instrument from English into another language may not make the instrument ready to use with consumers in another culture. In addition, it is unwise to compare the data collected from an English instrument with that from a translated instrument. For example, a product's image of health or power may have different meanings across cultures. One culture may view a car as powerful because it is associated with powerful people. Another culture may perceive it as powerful because of the engine's horsepower rating. Both cultures rate both cars high on power but for critically different reasons. Etic vs. Emic approaches

December 2001 Volume 39 Number 6 Talk Around the Coffeepot: A Key to Cultural Change Toward Diversity Ann C. Schauber Diversity Leader Oregon State University Extension Service Corvallis, Oregon Internet Address: ann.schauber@oregonstate.edu Introduction Leading a state Extension organization to become more relevant in a culturally diverse society is a strategic and deliberate process of organizational culture change. Organizational culture consists of the values, beliefs, principles, practices, and behaviors found in the public language of the organization. Organizational culture changes very slowly. Extension's organizational culture can be changed by identifying and then changing the diversity climate. A conceptual framework for identifying Extension's diversity climate (published in Journal of Extension, June 2001) is a key to organizational culture change (Schauber, 2001). This article addresses research findings that define Oregon State University Extension's Diversity Climate and how these findings are used to develop a strategic plan for leading OSU Extension to become an effective, culturally diverse organization. Background Diversity climate is defined as organizational members' attitudes and perceptions toward people from cultural groups other than their own. These attitudes and perceptions are manifested in the practices and behaviors that get acknowledged, supported, and rewarded (Schneider, 1990). Diversity climate, integral to and only a part of organizational culture, is manifested in the organization's private language, the informal conversations such as the talk around the coffeepot in the organization.

37. Culture In terms of health, some cultural groups face additional risks because of dominant Cultural kinship identifying with the language and history, http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/dca-dea/publications/healthy_dev_partb_10_e.html

Culture Overview The concept of culture refers to a shared identity based on such factors as common language, shared values and attitudes, and similarities in ideology. In terms of health, some cultural groups face additional risks because of dominant cultural values that contribute to conditions such as marginalization, stigmatization, loss or devaluation of language and culture, lack of access to culturally appropriate health care and services, and lack of recognition of skills and training. Racism and discrimination have direct impacts on health, as well as indirect impacts mediated through various forms of social, political and economic inequity. For example, the factors that contribute to the major health disparities between First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities and other communities (including education, income, culture, and social and physical environment) are rooted in a long history of prejudice and racism. Relationship to Healthy Child Development Minority groups often experience "acculturative stress."
