“…Second, this extension is based on the belief that social intelligence is culturally-bound (Cantor & Kihlstrom, 1987), and that because cultures differ (Mesquita, 2001;Nicholson & Stepina, 1998;Triandis, 2000), social intelligence cannot adequately explain effective interpersonal behavior across cultures (Earley, 2002). Third, the effectiveness of CCSI is judged with regard to two dimensions (empathy and non-ethnocentrism) derived from the social intelligence (e.g., Brown & Anthony, 1990;Keating, 1978;Lee, Wong, Day, Maxwell, & Thorpe, 2000;Thorndike & Stein, 1937) and cross-cultural (Enfield, 2000;Ellingsworth, 1988;Gudykunst, 1988;Hofstede, 1980;Javidan & House, 2001;Redmond, 2000;Roth, 2001;Triandis, 2000) literatures.…”

Purpose-To discuss (a) the concept of cross-cultural social intelligence (CCSI), (b) its relevance for both selecting and developing expatriates and other employees working in crosscultural contexts, (c) the development of a situational judgment test to assess CCSI, and (d) practical "lessons learned" in each of these areas. In addition, this instrument is offered (free-ofcharge) to any interested managers or HR practitioners. Design/methodology/approach-The four phases of the development and validation of the CCSI measure (using a total of 184 cross-cultural SMEs) were developing (a) the scenarios and (b) the response alternatives, (c) the content analysis, and (d) establishing construct validity. Findings-The results from the content analysis and construct validation provide support for the use of the CCSI in cross-cultural situations. Research limitations/implications-The CCSI has not yet been validated in a criterion-related way (i.e., based on relations to job performance). This should be done before using for selection. Practical Implications-Possible uses for the CCSI in organisations include selection and/or promotion of expatriates and other employees in cross-cultural contexts and several types of training and development initiatives. Originality/value-Despite the expressed need for instruments of this sort, nothing similar currently exists (especially not a theoretically-grounded and empirically sound instrument). In addition, the "lessons learned" provide practical advice to others engaged in similar undertakings.

“…Meat products are preserved in dhibe and dhool made from hides and carved from wood. Roth (2001) pointed out that all artifacts are products of complex transaction and communication processes and that a lot of cultural knowledge and experience is "built" into them.…”

Indigenous knowledge on food preparation is an activity practised in almost all agricultural production system. Amongst the Borana pastoralist of Northern Kenya, milk and meat production are the cornerstone of livelihood, and more often abundance occurs without possibility of immediate consumption, triggering the need to preserve surplus for future consumption. The objective of this paper is to document and understand traditional meat preparation knowledge amongst Borana pastoralist’s women of Northern Kenya.The method of collecting information included in-depth interviews and participant observations to document meat preparation skills and knowledge of Borana people as appertains to traditional food ways. It was observed that methods of traditional meat processing and preparation included different forms of drying, use of heat and storage in fat. Fourteen traditional meat products and seven preservation techniques were documented. Drying and deep frying were the major form of meat preservation. Women skillfully put a lot of effort in all stages of meat preparation to produce an end product that is not only shelf stable but traditional products that are appreciated and nutritious. It was observed that only four of the products are currently in use, an indication of steady decline in meat handling knowledge and preparation.

“…Students learn culture and language both subconsciously and consciously. It means schools and teachers, according to Roth (2001) played an important role in training students for cultural pluralism. They do so by delivering a curriculum that incorporates different points of view on topics as well as a wide range of positive and negative life experiences, and by inspiring students to recognize the voices that are absent, misconstrued, or misrepresented.…”

Menyajikan teks Bahasa Indonesia yang ditulis dengan meintegrasikan unsur-unsur budaya untuk materi belajar siswa Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) memberikan banyak manfaat. Selain sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan jumlah kosa kata, materi yang memasukkan unsur-unsur budaya juga menjadi media untuk mempromosikan budaya Indonesia. Melalui pertimbangan pada kebutuhan belajar siswa BIPA di mana harus memasukkan pembelajaran budaya lokal, penyajian teks bacaan ini dapat dilakukan secara insidental maupun secara langsung dengan menggunakan model membaca ekstensif. Oleh karena itu, penyusanan materi yang mengintegrasikan unsur budaya sangat direkomendasikan untuk dipilih oleh guru karena membantu siswa BIPA dalam mempelajari prinsip-prinsip yang menarik dan otentik. Pada artikel ini, data diambil dari berbagai penelitian terdahulu yang mencakup penyusunan teks berbasis interkultural, model pembelajaran BIPA, dan berbagai jenis model membaca ekstensif. Data diolah secara deskriptif untuk dapat melahirkan gagasan baru tentang penyusunan bahan ajar sebagai materi pendukung proses belajar mengajar di kelas BIPA. Sebagai hasil dari penelitian ini adalah pengajar BIPA diharapkan dapat menyusun teks bacaan yang memiliki kesamaan topik untuk selanjutnya dapat diimbuhkan dengan latihan praktik. Penyusunan buku teks dengan menitikkberatkan konten berbasis budaya dan dikelompokkan sesuai dengan tingkat kemahiran berbahasa juga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis bagi para siswa BIPA. Presenting Indonesian text written by combining cultural elements for student learning materials of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) provides many benefits. Apart from being a stimulation to enrich vocabulary, material that contains cultural elements is also a means to promote Indonesian culture. By considering the learning needs of BIPA students who must include local cultural learning, the presentation of this reading text can be done incidentally or directly by using an extensive reading model. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers choose a material that integrates cultural elements since it beneficial for BIPA students to learn interesting and authentic principles. In this article, data is drawn from various previous studies which include compilation of intercultural based texts, BIPA learning models, and various types of extensive reading models. The data is processed descriptively to be able to generate new ideas about the preparation of teaching materials as expected to support the teaching and learning process in BIPA classes.
