Batchelder’s view on cross-cultural Batchelder’s view on cross-cultural education: education: ““If some of the goals of education in If some of the goals of education in modern times are to open up possibilities modern times are to open up possibilities for discovery and expand learning and the for discovery and expand learning and the chance for mutual acceptance and chance for mutual acceptance and recognition in a wider world, it may be recognition in a wider world, it may be important to offer students a perspective important to offer students a perspective on their own immediate center of the world on their own immediate center of the world by enabling them to participate sensitively by enabling them to participate sensitively as cross-cultural sojourners to the center as cross-cultural sojourners to the center of someone elseof someone else’’s world.s world.””

Telling the first part of the Story:

Story (Narration)

Page 9: 1 LESSON TEN The Green Banana The Green Banana Donald Batchelder Donald Batchelder.

Sentence Understanding:

1.It refers to a mountain,which looks like a sugar loaf.

2. …so that I will be safe if my radiator should give me trouble again.

3. As someone educated in the United States, (I naturally had never paid any attention to the green banana)

4. …to regard it as a fruit which was not yet ripe or which was not ready to be picked and eaten.

Page 10: 1 LESSON TEN The Green Banana The Green Banana Donald Batchelder Donald Batchelder.

5. It was me who had come to know the green bananas, and everything connected with it. What the author is saying here is that every civilization has special geniuses, which have existed for many years. But they will not come to your notice and benefit you until and unless you are ready to go out and meet them.

Page 11: 1 LESSON TEN The Green Banana The Green Banana Donald Batchelder Donald Batchelder.

6. The author here is talking about two of those learning moments. The two things that suddenly dawned on him are: the fact that every civilization has wonderful treasures to share with others and the idea that every village, town, region or country has a right to regard itself as the center of the world.

7. The author obviously was born and brought up in New England. Therefore he had always regarded it as the center of the world.

Page 12: 1 LESSON TEN The Green Banana The Green Banana Donald Batchelder Donald Batchelder.

8. This is often the source of provincialism, regionalism, racism and imperialism.the existing ethnocentrism calls for a special warning. Unless people are all ready to understand and respect other cultures, the world will not live in peace.

9. But once you make a serious effort to overcome your prejudice and go out to meet different cultures, you will begin to have a new outlook that will affect you for the rest of your life, and you will probably start collecting the culture treasures of other nations.

10. Here the green bananas have become a symbol of hidden treasures from every culture.
