Features
New and expanded topics address the development of intercultural sensitivity, the international socialization of young people, and the role technology plays in facilitating intercultural dialogue and interaction.
Issues of assessment are integrated into every chapter in Part II. These enhance the book's intercultural approach and give special attention to culturally-sensitive assessment in Chapter 6, authentic assessment in Chapter 11, and the service-eligibility assessment of students with disabilities and their response to such services in Chapter 12.

Each chapter begins with a Case Study that introduces major concepts and sets the context for the chapter. Each Case Study is tied to chapter-ending Critical Incidents that prompt the reader to problem solve for real classroom situations
