ESL Teacher as Culture Broker

Hello to my readers!
I found this article called "ESL Teacher as Culture Broker" and I thought I should share it would you. It think it's great as it deals with the role that culture plays in ESL classrooms and how to deal with, not only the student's culture, but also the parents.
Before reading this article, I had never really taken into account this important issue, but this article really made me aware that it is important to take into consideration our students' cultural background. Some activities are even included and you can check out the web site's home page, as it offers great lesson plans and tips for ESL teachers.
Let me know what you think!
