Abstract

Discusses the intercultural effects on college faculty teaching abroad through an exploration of the experiences of two teaching academics working in Hong Kong with emphasis on issues of language and communication and social and cultural distance. Argues that the development of intercultural understandings must permeate the curricula, and be a shared goal and responsibility of both teachers and students. (DB)
