- Developing Cultural Orientation Materials. Bilingual Education Cross Cultural Training Culture Contact Curriculum Guides Inservice Education Instructional Materials Lesson Plans Material Development Questionnaires Refugees Teacher Education Teacher Educators Workshops Cultural orientation, teaching about a new culture and the skills needed to operate within it, is a critical component of refugee services programs. This handbook was developed at a 2-day workshop sponsored by the Northwest Educational Cooperative (NEC) and is designed to help improve the competencies of teacher trainers and bilingual staff responsible for providing cultural orientation. The handbook is divided into three sections. Section 1 consists of workshop handouts including a questionnaire aimed at determining participants' opinions about, and knowledge of cultural orientation programs, and a curriculum guide for such a program. Section 2 is a review of existing bilingual materials, including a listing of the language and purpose of materials housed in the NEC's library. Section 3 is a selection of cultural orientation lesson plans on topics such as the sponsor/refugee relationship, social customs, and using public transportation. The cultural-specific materials in this handbook were taken from materials used in Southeast Asian refugee camps. A bibliography of selected bilingual cultural orientation materials, and sample cultural orientation lessons are included. (JL) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
