Kevin,
I am no expert in this area, but I have just come across a source that might be interesting:
Kramsch, C. & von Hoene L. (1995). The dialogic emergence of difference: feminist explorations in foreign language learning and teaching. In Stanton & Stewart (Eds.), Feminisms in the academy.
This article deals with the framing of difference in ESL (and other SL) classrooms and using foreign texts to promote a multi-cultural dialogue.
