Reihe: Implementing Intercultural Education in Language Teaching Practice

Provides important and original new insights into intercultural teaching within language education, foregrounding implementation, rather than reiterating why intercultural education matters

Little is known about how
intercultural education is actually implemented in teaching materials and
classroom practice. Addressing this gap, this book investigates the integration
of intercultural learning into foreign language teaching through textbook analyses
and case studies drawing on classroom observations, teacher interviews and
student surveys. It provides concrete examples of implementation while also
highlighting the challenges and potential risks involved and identifying
critical areas for development and action. The book explores the balancing act
of diversity as a pedagogical lens and culminates in a Reflection Catalogue for
Intercultural Learning designed to support professional noticing, dialogue,
materials development and critical-reflexive practice.
