This presentation addresses the issue of native cultures in ESL and EFL classrooms with specific reference to African literature, which abounds in cultural information. Mr. Baloubi shows that African proverbs in particular, as illustrated in Achebe's novels and short stories, can be interesting topics for productive language learning activities. Many teachers in ESL spend some part of their career teaching overseas, often at the beginning of it. This presentation examines the results of surveys conducted in Hungary and China. Both surveys asked teachers and students who have worked with American or other native-speaking English teachers to express a consumer's view of what works and what doesn't when a person is a visiting teacher of their native language in another country.
