A number of Western-based faculty travel abroad to China each year to teach university-level Chinese students (Ozturgut, 2007) including the researcher of this study. Western and Eastern cultural differences were a main factor attracting faculty, but also prompted the need for effective communication and awareness (Durant & Shepherd, 2009). This study explored the dynamics of a Sino-U.S. joint educational program in China and the attitudes, expectations, and academic outcomes of faculty and students within a dual culture classroom setting. The study also investigated the gaps between Western and Eastern teaching and learning and assessed the adaptation and integration of culturally based curriculum. A qualitative design was used to analyze the gap that existed in teaching and learning related to Eastern and Western cultural differences. An appreciative inquiry 4-D Cycle was used as the methodology. Triangulation methods were used to collect and analyze data using interviews and focus groups. The study took place in southeast China at a Sino-U.S. university. The participants in the study consisted of approximately five Western-based faculty and 11 Chinese students from the university. The researcher worked with Western-based faculty and Chinese students applying intercultural competence and appreciative inquiry theories. This study detailed findings related to faculty and learner beliefs, understandings, challenges, and reactions within a culturally diverse learning environment.
