Strategy;
Determine what cultural facts will have to be taught to people who haven’t grown up in the US; this may include history,vocabulary, slang, sports jargon etc.
Provide extra information and review sheets for international students.
Present a lesson with cultural components (i.e. holidays, elections, vacation spots, humor, etc.)

Skilled teachers have strategies which enable them to address prejudices among their students. It

is important that native English speaking and ELL

students learn to work collaboratively across

cultural differences. ELL students may encounter prejudicial attitudes which hinder their learning if the teacher does not facilitate successful group work in the classroom—or worse, they may feel that school is not a safe environment. A broad review of studies which address prejudice reduction and antiracist teaching strategies can be found in Banks (2004).
