Cross-cultural sensitivity

Kalinago English assumes no responsibility if you or your students are offended by any of the questions presented within the question prompts.

It is very important that you are aware of your students and their culture(s). Some of the questions have been written specifically to provoke animated response (not many but some) and the author is aware that this concept of communication is not always accepted globally.

When in doubt regarding whether or not a question may or may not be culturally inappropriate, it is your responsibility to remove the said card from the set or to ask your Director of Studies what he/she thinks.

If you feel that a card should carry a warning sign, please let me know and one can be added.

While it is likely that as a language institution or a teacher you probably already have your own pre-made card system of questions or your own way of presenting questions to the students - obviously, I am not referring to these.

Please read the system explained if you are in any doubt of what is refered to by the concept or system.
