This collection includes publications/presentations focusing on intercultural learning on campus. 

Faculty interested in or engaged in COIL can find resources here relevant to the development and assessment of intercultural competence in virtual international education.

Transformational education and transformative learning have become buzz words in higher education recently, often applied rather lightly to experiences and processes far beyond what is meant by the terms in traditions of scholarly literature, and often claimed with little or no attempt at assessment. This collection is meant to be a resource for anyone interested in learning more about the decades of research on Transformative Learning Theory sparked by the work of Jack Mezirow in the field of adult education in the early 1990s. 

This collection includes slides, readings, and activities from an 8-week opportunity for faculty and instructors from the School of Languages and Cultures to explore the field of intercultural learning in relation to the field of language teaching and learning.

Learning outcomes for participants:

1. Recognize several theoretical frameworks for understanding intercultural learning and identify general issues of inquiry in this area.
2. Articulate connections between language acquisition and intercultural learning.
3. Align teaching tools, assessment methods, and classroom strategies with particular frameworks of intercultural learning.
4. Integrate at least one new intercultural learning outcome and its assessment into a course through backward design. 

Materials for use with Faculty-led programs to promote intercultural growth abroad. 

Tools used with students to support their learning and to document their progress on particular learning outcomes. 

This is a collection of syllabi, schedules, readings, and assignments particularly targeting intercultural competence development for PCP students. 

Getting people together for conversation around the table is often a first step in intercultural learning. Eating together can generate interesting conversations about how different foods generate very different memories.

No matter how far along participants are on the IDC, there is always room for growth.  Because participants in Acceptance are usually fewer in number overall, they can sometimes feel under-challenged.  This collection provides a sampling of tools which can stimulate deeper conversation with participants in on the upper half of the IDC.

Over the years, I have found good examples and also cautionary tales of debriefing,  

This collection contains a variety of resources on using Hofstede materials and concepts in the classroom, as well as articles about Hofstede.

This collections contains all the curriculum tools for a Cultural Mentoring Course. These courses are from a variety of programs and are designed for study abroad students or returnees. They are offered online or in-person/on-site. 

These activities use questions to facilitate intercultural learning.

These simulations or games deal with the concept of elimination.

These activities are excellent for team-building and group work.

All of these tools teach the Hofstede dimensions; many are written by Hofstede. 

This collection focuses on building empathy with a particular group, language learners. 

These activities and assessment focus on inclusive competencies and practices.

Although the ideas in this collection may not be original to CILMAR, these tools contain original and adpated downloadable content, free to users.
