Could they include improving your English? If so, have you ever wondered how difficult it is for course book writers to choose topics which will appeal to students all over the world? We\u2019ll be hearing from Lindsay Clandfield, lead author of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macmillanglobal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Global <\/a>series of coursebooks about some of those issues. Maybe your New year\u2019s resolution is learning about one intercultural diagnosis tool such as the 4 Cs of culture? If so then you will want to hear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcoachcenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Margarita Gokun Silver <\/a>explain what they are. Or maybe you want to make a huge change in your life but don\u2019t know where to start. One step in that direction may be to attend the free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smallplanetstudio.com\/products\/summit\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Living Your Ideal Global Life<\/i> <\/a>summit starting on January 13<sup>th<\/sup>. We\u2019ll be hearing from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.authentizen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sabrina Ziegler<\/a>, one of the organisers about some more of the interesting angles about living abroad and what is possible in this connected world.<\/p>\n<p><b>absolutely global<br \/>\n<\/b>Have you ever wondered how your language course book gets written? In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?p=2346\" target=\"_blank\">show 166 <\/a>we heard about the topics that don\u2019t make it into the course books, the so-called PARSNIP topics. But as I had Lindsay Clandfield, lead author of the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macmillanglobal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MacMillan Global <\/a>series on the line, I took the opportunity to ask him how he decided what SHOULD go into his new coursebook. So let\u2019s go absolutely global and start by asking why the world needed another coursebook for learning English!<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely how-to<\/strong><br \/>\nNow I want to tell you about a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?page_id=2679\">page <\/a>on our website which is a 30 minute edited version of a workshop I did at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sietareu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">SIETAR Congress <\/a>in Tallinn Estonia in September. The workshop was about podcasting for Intercultural trainers and we have released it as a special edition of the podcast on its own page.\u00a0 Thanks to Sigvor Bakke from Norway who did a magnificent job of recording on her mobile phone including\u00a0a short snippet where we were looking at why you might want to podcast. The snippet included <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillnetworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Matthew Hill <\/a>from the UK. And if you want to hear the whole 30 minutes where I go into more detail about the whys and wherefores then catch it on its dedicated page.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nzSv1lJp0bg\" height=\"315\" width=\"460\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>absolutely coached<br \/>\n<\/b>In a globalised world it becomes even more important to understand intercultural dynamics within yourself and others. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcoachcenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Margarita Gokun Silver <\/a>told us about how accompanying spouses can be helped in<a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?p=2553\" target=\"_blank\"> Show 170<\/a>. You may remember that Margarita is a trained coach so let\u2019s ask if she has additional tools to help people deal with intercultural situations?\u00a0Honouring your values is a key takeaway. Margarita\u2019s website is at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcoachcenter.com\">www.globalcoachcenter.com<\/a> where you can find loads more information about the 4 Cs and intercultural coaching generally. \u00a0I have added the book mentioned by Margarita to the Absolutely Intercultural <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/absolutein02c-20\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon store <\/a>where you can find many other books relevant to intercultural communication. We receive a small amount of what you pay for every book which helps keep the site running. Browse our Amazon store <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/absolutein02c-20\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely ideal<br \/>\n<\/strong>And finally, I return to the unique idea of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smallplanetstudio.com\/products\/summit\/\" target=\"_blank\">Living Your Ideal Global Life<\/a>\u00a0Summit which is free and online for 5 days starting January 13<sup>th<\/sup>. In Show 172 one of the organisers, Sabrina Ziegler \u00a0of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.authentizen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Authentizen <\/a>, told us about a couple of the speakers so let\u2019s go absolutely ideal as I asked Sabrina about Terry Rogocki\u2019s contribution.
