Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe, in detail, cultural values as they can impact learning in higher education, describe cultural markers found within the classroom, and provide readers with a collection of exercises that can be utilized to discover the larger cultural values present within their learners. Research regarding cultural values and their differences among various international students will be described within general cultural values. Readers will be provided with a table of cultural markers, activities to discover their presence in the classroom, and questions to ask of learners to accommodate those cultural values. Implications for the higher education classroom and directions for future research are included.
