简介: Teachers at all levels of education and in many countries recognise that their learners need to become more sensitive to and knowledgeable about people of other cultures and countries. This is called 'intercultural competence' and has been much discussed and described in theory. This book shows how these ideas can be realised in the classroom.lts chapters are written by teachers in schools, adult education and universities who describe in straight-forward ways what they do in their classrooms or how they have developed new teaching materials. They describe work with adults and young people, with motivated university students and disaffected youngsters in school. The book includes some chapters which are about foreign language teaching and others which show how teachers of geography or literature can develop learners' intercultural competence. Teachers describe their work with learners in the traditional classroom but also how they break out of the classroom using new technologies-or by taking their learners out into the world around them. The methods are inspired by ethnography, by literary theory, by tandem learning, by awareness-raising exercises as well as by analyses of authentic materials. There is variety of approaches, of learners and of countries which will inspire teachers to develop their own ideas.
