Different Teaching Environment is a great factor of learning. Teaching is relative. Of course, a teacher can teach best its students in using its own native tongue. That''s why better adaptive behavior of a teacher is a must in relating itself to its surrounding, for example when a teacher is teaching abroad. The teacher must adjust itself & its manner of manner of teaching to better facilitate the learning of its students. In this case, language plays an important role in bridging cultural diversity.

Teaching is Teaching I have to disagree because even with different cultures, students are students. As long as you engage them and prepare yourself, there is not much difference. I think the cultural aspect only comes into play outside the classroom.
