This paper reports an ethnographic study which purpose was to inquire on cultural awareness raising as new cultural representations were taught to engage in learning a group of teenagers taking English at a summer camp in Siberia, Russia.The need to promote intercultural awareness seemed essential since their behavior and ways of thinking were disengaged from the game of learning.The authors implemented Cooperative Learning (Johnson, Johnson andHolubec, 1994 and2008) to facilitate the dialog about the participants' culture and the teacher's.The data gathered indicates that due to culture teaching there were gains in awareness on cultural diversity; by stepping outside their boundaries, the campers moved away from ethnocentric attitudes and realized about the meaning that peoples assign to traditions, an indication of gain in intercultural awareness.
