Some sources refer to ENCULTURATION as the process of learning a first culture while the process of ACCULTURATION is used to describe the process of learning a second culture. Applying these two perspectives to your question, the teacher as ENCULTURATOR would be a role of helping her native born students to learn cultural norms. This might involve more simple, almost unthinking instruction and example of modeling what the norms of the dominant culture expect. The teacher as ACCULTURATOR would be a role of helping immigrants to the community understand and adopt the cultural norms of their new home. This might involve more direct, conscious explanations and instructions rather than just modeling the culture in their behavior.
