Abstract | Cultural interference acknowledgement can be difficult to acknowledge. Student acknowledgment of cultural interference has been researched extensively, but teacher acknowledgement has not. The purpose of this multicase study is to examine teacher acknowledgement of cultural interference, to assess if they are aware of it, and to assist educators in becoming aware of it. The case study involved questionnaires and interviews with American educators based in the United States, Japan, and other countries. The data gathering method used in questionnaires and interviews were 5 open-ended questions. The participant had to answer them in short paragraph answers of detailed responses. The total number of questionnaires received and used for the research was 11. The questionnaires were received from the United States. The participants were currently employed in a college or university in the U.S. The total number of interviews conducted was 10. Half of the interviews were from educators in an American university located in Japan, and the other half of the interviews were from a Japanese public university. Analysis of the research was done through thematic analysis. Codes were established from the data and analyzed. A demographics supplement was given, in addition to conducting the questionnaires and interviews, to assess more information about the participant's age, teaching experience, experience teaching abroad, and education level. This information was deemed important in conducting the research. Significant findings were gained from the research. The number of years teaching abroad was an important factor whether educators can understand cultural factors having an impact on 2nd language fluency. Education level didn't necessarily allow a better understanding of cultural interference, and teaching experience may not necessarily play an important role in acknowledgment of cultural interference.
