Abstract
ABSTRACT  The culture cluster is a series of culture capsules each of which introduces a different aspect of a central theme. Presented as brief lessons, they lead to a summarizing activity which takes the form of a dramatic simulation. In this manner, the cluster not only provides factual information but also gives the student the opportunity to become personally involved through dramatic participation in a cultural situation. Illustrating the technique is a culture cluster on a French country wedding. To be operational in the French classroom, the script need only be supplemented with visuals and realia. The technique can be adopted by teachers of other languages to structure the presentation of cultural information.
