Abstraksi Narasi	:	In Egypt we enjoy the most positive type of bilingual education, referred to as ``additive bilingualism.`` This means that the foreign language does not pose a threat to the learner`s mother tongue or identity; on the contrary, the foreign language opens new academic and professional avenues. At all levels, success in a foreign language is a nonnegotiable requirement, and content-based instruction (CBI) offers us the means to challenge our learners and involve them in a meaningful learning experience. (Touba 1994).

Abstraksi Narasi	:	To enter another culture with only the vaguest notion of its underlying dynamics reflects not only a provincial naivete but a dangerous form of cultural arrogance " (Barnlund 1991: 73). In response to views like this, publishers are including cultural information in their ESL texts, and teachers are beginning to recognize the importance of the underlying dynamics of a culture in L2 communication. Such steps are laudable, but they may fall short of the mark when it comes to actually equipping students with the cognitive skills they need in a second-culture environment. From country to country, social taboos, politics, and religious traditions and values differ. These cultural variables need to be respected if students are to benefit from new experiences. Yet the commercial market today does not seem to have a universally applicable intercultural communication (IC) program or text that is suitable for culturally divergent student populations. To compensate for the lack of IC materials, instructors often need to develop their own IC courses that meet local standards of acceptability. Once instructors understand the basic concepts of cultural comparison, they can develop appropriate learning materials.

Abstraksi Narasi	:	This article discusses the importance of teaching the "interactional`` use of language in EFL business writing classes. I first address some common problems that result from inappropriate business communication. Then I introduce the concept of the interactional use of language as opposed to the ``transactional`` use of language. Finally, I propose ways to include the teaching of interactional language in EFL business writing courses.
