Striving for the third place: intercultural competence through language education

Abstract

Recently, the issues of whether multilingualism is a necessary feature of multiculturalism, whether the teaching of language/culture contributes to inter-cultural harmony and what competencies are required for today's world, have re-emerged in the current debates on multiculturalism, language education and globalisation. This book contains a collection of 14 papers by key researchers and practitioners in the field and addresses these issues from a wide range of perspectives. The papers are organised into two streams; intercultural competence in context and intercultural competence in practice.
