**Developing an Intercultural Orientation in**  **Schools, Classrooms, and Communities.**

1. **Migrant strategy aims to make integration 'the norm' in classrooms** ABSTRACT: Jamie Smyth describes the efforts in Ireland to make schools more integrated and accepting in an effort to minimize racism and to help students advance in their language learning skills. The role of teachers in this effort is described, and happens to be very similar to the situation faced by teachers in the U.S. The demographics are similar, with many migrant students coming to the elementary classrooms in Ireland from non English speaking countries. The proposals that are made to help how Ireland confronts the difficulties in dealing with a large influx of immigrant students are to 1, to make inclusion and integration the norm, and 2, combat racism in the school system. (Smyth, 2010)



**2. Pedagogical Practice for Integrating the Intercultural**  **in Language Teaching and Learning** ABSTRACT: For a long time it has been considered that language education and education in culture should be separate, that one takes away from the other. But, education is now increasingly placing emphasis on the importance on integrating the two, that language and culture are inseparable, and intercultural perspectives can be taught while keeping language at the heart of the curriculum. (Liddicoat, 2008)



3. TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF SELF-EFFICACY, ENGLISH  PROFICIENCY, AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES ABSTRACT: This study results in this article show that Turkish EFL teachers’ perceived efficacy was closely correlated with their self-reported English proficiency, as well as their instructional strategy efficacy being greater than their efficacy for management and engagement. (Yilmaz, 2011)



**4. Experiential Training: Connecting School Counselors-in-Training, English as a Second Language (ESL) Teachers, and ESL Students ** ABSTRACT: Teachers without experience in dealing with ELLs with limited English capabilities often struggle. This article shows how one field experience showed school counselors in training received experience to develop cultural sensitivity while working with ELLs. (Burnham, 2009)



5. The Impact of Cultural Diversity Forum on Student's Openness to Diversity <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ABSTRACT: Demographics in the US are increasingly shifting towards more and more diversity.
