I don't think the following publication announcement from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education made it to NIFL-ESL. This publication is really well done and makes some very clear, practical statements about dimensions of culture and their relevance in instructional decision-making processes. Enjoy!

Considering Culture in the Selection of Teaching Approaches for Adults ERIC Digest No. 231 by Linda Ziegahn Adult educators are increasingly committed to designing learning that takes into account cultural differences. We are discovering that "valuing" diversity is not enough to enable educators from the dominant culture, particularly European Americans living in the United States, to recognize difference and know how to change instruction so that learners who have felt marginalized feel visible and valued. This Digest examines the different dimensions of culture that are relevant to the adult learning context, speaking primarily to the case of the United States, including both the personal cultures of learners and educators, and the culture of the larger social political environment. It explores how cultural values permeate instruction and looks at several approaches that take culture into account.
