With globalization and the increase in the demand for English language education, large numbers of teachers from various countries have come to work in Thailand and Japan as English teachers. For these teachers issues of cultural literacy and intercultural communication can be problematic. This presentation reports on a series of interviews with teachers in Thailand and Japan investigating issues these teachers have encountered concerning cultural literacy and intercultural communication. In addition, survey results measuring intercultural sensitivity will also be discussed. These results are part of a larger research project investigating cultural literacy and teacher training within Thailand and Japan.
