Teaching across Cultures: Contextualizing Education for Global Mission (James E. Plueddemann)

Abstract

This book review on Teaching Across Cultures highlights James E. Plueddemann's approach to education in cross-cultural settings. His effective metaphor, the two-runged rail fence, can be applied in many settings for connecting theoretical content to the practical needs of students across the board, while his recommendations to be learners first go a long way to bridge possible cross-cultural misunderstandings.
