=== Cultural diversity===
It becomes apparent that adult trainers need to take their students’ needs into account but also to align their training practices with research and international views on educational trends. Apart from adopting innovative views with a cognitive focus in the area of language learning and exploiting new technologies, many studies  advocate that a foreign language instructor should be able to value cultural diversity. Trainers are expected to accept, explore, and understand different perspectives as well as to act as citizens of a multicultural and global society. Opportunities for instructors and adult language learners to interact with diverse cultures can be created in multiple ways through inclusive teaching practices, reading and multimedia materials, and participation in communities of practice which may be virtual or conventional.
