Films for teaching

[Susan Eggly]

Think about using the scene in Edward Scissorhands where he comes into the home for the first time and looks around.  It's a good view of U.S. culture from the perspective of an outsider. Some other good choices are Mississippi Masala and Baji on the Beach.

Hi-

I'm in search of films for teaching a cross-cultural
(intercultural) communication class. I am NOT looking
for films ABOUT this topic, but rather films that
would be good to use as examples of intercultural
communication, or as examples of discourse norms in
various cultures. I also may use these as primary data
for student papers, if I can find some good ones.

Please send me any ideas/suggestions, especially if
you have used such films before!

I will post a summary and eventually my complete list
(I've tried to search for an existing list but have
found none).

Thanks-

Scott
