This wide-ranging survey of issues in intercultural language
teaching and learning covers everything from core concepts to
program evaluation, and advocates a fluid, responsive approach to
teaching language that reflects its central role in fostering
intercultural understanding.
* Includes coverage of theoretical issues defining language,
culture, and communication, as well as practice-driven issues such
as classroom interactions, technologies, programs, and language
assessment
* Examines systematically the components of language teaching:
language itself, meaning, culture, learning, communicating, and
assessments, and puts them in social and cultural context
* Features numerous examples throughout, drawn from various
languages, international contexts, and frameworks
* Incorporates a decade of in-depth research and detailed
documentation from the authors’ collaborative work with
practicing teachers
* Provides a much-needed addition to the sparse literature on
intercultural aspects of language education
