CERCLL Collection for Language Teachers

Welcome CERCLL affiliates and ICC conference attendees! I have put together this collection of activities that you might find useful in supporting intercultural development in language classrooms, including great culturally oriented icebreakers and tools related to nonverbal communication, cultural worldview frameworks, and openness. Enjoy, and let me know if there are other activities you think should be included here.
