Using the Mother Tongue, part of the Professional Perspectives series, offers a variety of practical ways to make use of what is a very valuable resource by:
- providing ideas and guidelines on when and how to use the mother tongue,
- encouraging teachers to use the mother tongue selectively and effectively,
- raising awareness of the similarities and differences between languages,
- building links between the mother tongue and the foreign language through comparison and translation.
The use of the mother tongue in the foreign language classroom has often been officially discouraged; however, many teachers have recognised that in practice using one’s own language to learn a foreign language is natural, necessary and efficient.

become aware of the target-culture norms and behaviours understand better their own and other beliefs and values see beyond stereotypes and empathise with other cultures Culture in our Classrooms contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development:
Part A:
Examines definitions of culture. The authors examine the beliefs behind behaviours, and reflect on the inextricable link between culture and language – suggesting that culture as ‘classroom content’ involves students on many levels, enabling them to communicate about something deep, compelling and worthwhile.
Part B:
Contains a wealth of activities which encourage critical thinking in students and communication between students. They involve students in reacting and reflecting, sharing and comparing – and are grouped into four chapters which foster cultural awareness, focus on the cultural connotations of language, formulate thinking frames for study and, finally, fix their attention on an English-speaking country.
Part C:
Approaches culture in the context of Teacher Development and provides 16 practical exercises for staffroom sessions. The exercises span four major skill areas for personal and professional improvement – observation, listening, rapport building and empathy.

This book starts from the perspective of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and provides well over a hundred easy-to-use activities, each designed to create the wish and need in students to express themselves in English.
The benefits to students include:
-
a real desire to talk and write, -
an improved relationship with the target language, -
a growing sense of ownership of the target language, -
a growth in psychological self-awareness, -
a deepening awareness of fellow students and a growth of respect for them.
The activities are designed to make students forget they are in a language classroom. Teachers can feel confident that the 'speaking' or 'writing' parts of the lesson will actually work, owing to students' real desire to express themselves.
Teachers do not require an expert knowledge of NLP practice to use' this book, but those interested in knowing more are offered a glossary of terms and a critical bibliography.
