In this online presentation Barry Tomalin (see the Globalisation, Communication & the Workplace post below for more details) outlines a methodology for teaching culture, and before drawing some interesting conclusions concerning the role of the language teacher in providing cultural training, provides some extremely helpful examples of lesson plans for developing cultural awareness in the language teaching classroom:

A version of this presentation was first given at the IATEFL conference in Exeter and Barry has updated some of the information and added one or two new insights to his commentary. The new link mentioned at the end of the talk is to the Diverse Europe at Work (DEW) website where you can follow the progress of this EU funded project.

Finally, here is the direct link to the Business Cultural Trainer's Certificate (BCTC) three-day course that Barry mentions.
