Abstract

Bilingual bicultural education programs have played a significant role in the integration and development of multicultural communities in many parts of the world for a number of years with the field growing steadily in importance on a global scale. This article examines the processes of planning a pilot course in bilingual bicultural education for Sichuan Minzu College, which serves as the only university in the culturally diverse Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province. It explains choices made by teaching staff of the Department of English involved in initial planning meetings and lists the range of teaching modes that were finally agreed upon. Perhaps of greater interest, however, are the many coping strategies that were necessary along the way.
