Do So

Student populations in Unites States schools have changed and continue to do so. Educators have had to adapt in order to be effective and equitable. Bilingual/immersion teachers, specifically, are experiencing difficulties in fostering cross-cultural competence. This creates myriad issues for students concerning diversity, cultural conflicts, and racial tensions. The purpose of this chapter is to provide context and a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of bilingual/immersion teachers. This will be accomplished by a thorough review of recent literature, an analysis of the discovered themes within the literature, and a discussion of practical recommendations to provide support to teachers, administrators, and district stakeholders.

Race Ethnicity

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of race/ethnicity and school community setting for early field experience practica and student teaching on music student teachers’ self-reported cross-cultural competence. Participants ( N = 337) from 36 colleges and universities across the United States completed a survey designed to examine the extent of cross-cultural competence as specified by three constructs: (a) factors fostering readiness to teach in culturally diverse educational environments, (b) factors constraining readiness to teach in culturally diverse educational environments, and (c) educational experiences during teacher preparation relative to multicultural education and multicultural music education. The “Foster,” “Constrain,” and “Teacher Preparation” dimension subscales served as the dependent variables. Results indicated no significant main effect of school community setting on participants’ cross-cultural competence; however, a significant main effect of race/ethnicity ( p < .05) was observed for the Constrain subscale of the survey.

The Relationship

This narrative aims to explore the meaning and lived experiences of marriage that a unique immigrant population—“foreign brides” in Taiwan—possesses. This convergence narrative illustrates the dynamics and complexity of mail-order marriage and women's perseverance in a cross-cultural context. The relationship between marriage, race, and migration is analyzed. This narrative is comprised of and intertwined by two story lines. One is the story of two “foreign brides” in Taiwan. The other is my story about my cross-cultural relationship. All the dialogues are generated by 25 interviews of “foreign brides” in Taiwan and my personal experience.

Social networks become part of the educational process and serve as a tool for creating new creative tasks aimed at developing cross-cultural competence. Modern technologies help to prepare students to communicate with representatives of other cultures, create situations that are close to those that exist in the natural cultural environment. This article discusses ways to use social networks to develop cross-cultural competence.
