Windows to the World goes beyond multicultural awareness to focus on the attitudes and skills needed to interact successfully across cultural lines. Each chapter emphasizes a theme common to all cultures, such as language, time, work, and leisure, and shows how cultures differ in their interpretation and expression of some aspect of life. A wide array of interesting instructional strategies and activities encourages students to practice the new interaction skills they learn. Interspersed throughout are quotations, proverbs, new words, and `Did You Know` facts about beliefs and behaviors in other cultures.
