Foreign Language Teachers

and Intercultural Competence

LANGUAGES FOR INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION

Editors: Michael Byram, University of Durham, UK

Alison Phipps, University of Glasgow, UK

The overall aim of this series is to publish books which will ultimately inform

learning and teaching, but whose primary focus is on the analysis of intercultural

relationships, whether in textual form or in people’s experience. There will also be

books which deal directly with pedagogy, with the relationships between language

learning and cultural learning, between processes inside the classroom and beyond.

They will all have in common a concern with the relationship between language and

culture, and the development of intercultural communicative competence.
