Intercultural understanding is defined as “an on-going critically reflexive process involving the development of skills, attitudes and knowledge, necessary for interacting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds” (Walton et al., 2013). This workshop addresses the significance of incorporating intercultural understanding into EAL classrooms for both EAL learners and instructors.
