Le dio en el clavo....

I found this quote in a publication by Michael Byram and Anwei Feng titled, "Teaching and Researching Intercultural Competence" that "hit the nail on the head."

"The intercultural learner moves amongst cultures, in a process of continual negotiation, learning to cope with the inevitable changes, in a manner that is ultimately empowering and enriching. The home culture is never denied nor demeaned, yet the intercultural learner will find his or her attitudes and beliefs challenged by contact with others, and the process of interaction will lead to the kind of personal growth characterized by 'progressive curricula'."---Corbett
