This study described the Cebuano cultural identities and prospects in search of a culture-based instruction model. This sought to find out the linguistic varieties of the Cebuano speakers; contrast the differences and similarities in the inasal making process; and identify the variations in the celebrations of festivals in Cebu. This study utilized a case study design with 15 research participants from the three selected cluster locations. These Cebuano cultural identities vary according to geographic location and other socio-historical factors. Clipping and borrowing of words and expressions, from adjacent islands and roots of the colonial past, are indicative of these factors of language variations. The practices of inasal making are based on inherited traditions of the place such as variations on the use of logistics and needed ingredients to embellish the entire corpus of a sanitized butchered pig before its roasting. Towns and cities celebrate festivals in thanksgiving of their patron saint – a symbolism of their religious and cultural traditions. These varied cultural orientations support the argument to establish a cultural grounding on instructional initiatives in the Asian context. The findings juxtapose the exploration of Inasal Teaching Model (ITM) as a localized and a contextualized teaching model that serves as a nexus in various phases of instruction, for quality teaching in the field of culture-based education.

In this chapter, the authors examine the social-personality processes underlying multiculturalism and multicultural identity and the cultural and societal factors that influence these phenomena. They focus the discussion on bicultural identity integration (BII), an individual difference construct describing the extent to which a bicultural individual experiences her two cultural identities as compatible and integrated versus oppositional and compartmentalized. Drawing from the literatures of acculturation, social-personality and cultural psychologies, and interculturalism studies, the authors review research on the antecedents and outcomes associated with BII. While there is extensive evidence showing that BII is psychologically consequential, and also an important moderator of how multicultural individuals respond to different kinds of cultural information and demands, there remains pressing needs to understand the developmental trajectories that influence BII, the role of macro societal and historical factors in how BII changes, and how BII can be used to understand multiculturalism in social collectives.

Outstanding Problem

The Cham Balamon people in Vietnam are an ethnic group with long religious and cultural traditions, who give a great importance to preserving their own cultural identity through generations. However, in recent years there are many economic, cultural and social changes in the life of the Cham Balamon community. One of the significant changes in the spiritual life of this community is the conversion of belief from Hinduism to Christianity. We think that this is an outstanding problem that needs to be addressed by formal and comprehensive scientific research projects. We have dispatched several research groups to conduct field trips, deep interviews and sociological surveys on the spiritual life of the Cham Balamon community. This paper is the first step of those researches pointing out the problems and challenges to the Cham Balamon community in Ninh Thuan Province, Vietnam. These are cultural and belief conflicts among people in the community or even among family members. However, we would predict that the biggest challenge is the risk of losing cultural identities that the Cham Balamon community is facing today due to religious conversion

This article focuses on Alejandro Morales’s novel The Rag Doll Plagues (1992) and explores the transhistorical dimensions of the subordination indigenous and mestiza/o identities experience against colonial and postcolonial authoritarian forces in the borderlands between Mexico and the United States. Spanish colonialism, US racism and eco-destruction, each transpiring in different moments of the New World history, are the diverse forms the borderland crises take up in the three Books comprising the novel. Mestizaje and intercultural communication, as well as the retrieval of the indigenous and Mexican cultural traditions, foster the ongoing creation of new hybrid racial, ethnic and cultural identities in all the three Books and, thus, emerge as the analeptics to the diachronically persistent plight of racism.

The article analyzes historical factors affecting the development of national tourism in Uzbekistan.  The issues of travel through the Great Silk Road, diplomatic relations, travelers of Islamic Eastern countries, their works, the role and importance of travelers of Eastern and Western countries in trade-economic, socio-political and spiritual-cultural relations between Eastern and Western countries were analyzed. These projects focus on the promotion of tourism as one of the efficient mechanisms for enhancing cooperation between countries. On the one side, it is a colorful region rich in tourism destinations and tourist products, with a remarkable heritage, variety of natural conditions and cultural traditions. On the other hand, it is an area with dramatically varying socio-economic development, which influences the tourism industry. For centuries, the Silk Road has been the most significant and productive way for the nations of Asia and Europe to integrate. It was through it that products, knowledge, technologies and cultures were interchanged, which eventually promoted the development of cities, regions, states and civilizations. For the creation of a service called the "Great Silk Road", an appropriate framework is naturally required. The "Great Silk Road" is a trans-continental concept of integration of countries at all levels, for its implementation, which requires active cooperation of all countries.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to comment on the article “Consumer cultural identity: Local and global cultural identities and measurement implications” by Yuliya Strizhakova and Robin Coulter. Design/methodology/approach The commentary summarizes the main characteristics of the authors’ study, positions it in the context of globalization, and suggests additional directions for potential future research. Findings The article by Strizhakova and Coulter has many strengths and provides a good base for new studies on consumer cultural identities and their global, local or glocal orientations. Originality/value This paper adds four points on the theme of “what else” might additional research in this area contribute: The need for further investigations into the cultural orientations of consumers in less developed countries; whether and how practitioners use the findings of academic research; the difficulties in absorbing and using the existing voluminous literature when designing new studies; and the benefits to be gained by introducing more granular perspectives in research about consumers’ cultural identities and their effects on their marketplace behaviour.

English as an academic language has always been an ocean of uncertainty for multilingual students across the Asia Pacific who are thrown into it often without their consent. This can result in a state of confusion and at worst, chaos in the many languages and multicultural identities they inhabit. This chapter seeks to unravel some of these historical factors over the past 25 years. It reviews the available wisdom around systemic functional linguistics and the theoretical foundations provided by experts of language and learning such as Cummins and Halliday. IB support programmes offer solutions to multilingual students for whom even the most well-intentioned IB schools in the Asia Pacific create dilemmas. There is a case for IB support programmes to bring together student well-being, as an affirmation and exploration of their cross-cultural identities. Finally, it suggests an update and further applications of the excellent support document called Language and Learning in IB Programmes to suit the realities of a new decade in the Asia-Pacific region.
