ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the inclusion of native speaker perspectives in an online cultural learning module and its ability to aid in developing intercultural sensitivity. This research builds on such studies that integrate cultural informants and draws on Bennett's model for intercultural sensitivity, a scale for the range of attitudes toward cultural differences, as a theoretical framework, and examines how intercultural sensitivity may apply as a mechanism for evaluating intercultural education via online learning modules. The chapter explores the impact that completing an online cultural module, containing native speakers' perspectives of a controversial issue, has on the intercultural sensitivity of Spanish language learners. Utilizing short video clips, text materials, and reflective prompts embedded in an online module, the participants of this chapter, university level students in a Spanish practical conversation course, explore Puerto Rico's political status in relation to the US.
