Culture in the teaching and learning of foreign languages tends to be stereotypical and monolithic, marginalizing the diversity of local cultures and practices and resulting in a monocultural and monolingual bias. Expanding on the ACTFL Cultures and Comparisons Standards, the current article presents the MAPS model for Exploring Local Cultures aimed at engaging students with local products, practices, and perspectives through the creation, exchange, and analysis of digital artifacts of local cultures. The article demonstrates how a complex pedagogical model can be constructed from existing research and theory as well as how to implement it: in addition to presenting the model and its underlying literature, the article details its implementation in two classes.

在MAP上放本地：让外语学生融入当地文化的模型

外语教学中的文化往往是刻板印象和整体性的，从而将当地文化和习俗的多样性边缘化，并导致了单一文化和单一语言的偏见。当前文章在ACTFL文化和比较标准的基础上扩展，提出了“探索本地文化”的MAPS模型，旨在通过创建，交流和分析本地文化的数字人工制品，让学生了解本地产品，实践和观点。本文演示了如何根据现有的研究和理论来构建复杂的教学模型以及如何执行该模型：除了介绍该模型及其基础文献之外，本文还分两类详细介绍了该模型的实现。
