Keywords:
Drawing on 50 years of experience with languages as a learner, teacher, and researcher, Byram (education, Durham U.) presents a collection of essays for language educators interested in thinking about their teaching in the wider context, to see the bigger picture, and to clarify or renew their vision and their work in the classroom. Coverage includes the purposes of foreign language teaching, what is possible and desirable in the classroom, the role of language teaching in education systems aimed at encouraging young people to identify with the nation state, and ways in which foreign language education can go beyond the traditional educational goal to introduce a critical internationalism and encourage intercultural citizenship. No subject index. Distributed in the U.S. by UTP Distribution. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This collection of essays analyses the evolution of theory of intercultural competence and its relationship to education for citizenship. It does so by analysing the concepts of intercultural competence, including the notion of the intercultural speaker, by discussing the ways in which language education policy develops and by comparing the theories and purposes of foreign language education and education for citizenship.

Recenzijas

I enjoyed reading this book. It promises to be a typically clear and compelling discussion of the institutional implications for adopting an intercultural approach to language teaching in European schools. It deserves to be read and debated widely. -- Professor John Corbett, Department of English, University of Glasgow It would be hard to deny the importance of Byram's excellent book. It is unique, because it views language teaching as a social and political activity and it gives new insights into the topic of foreign language education. The abundance of examples has a double merit in the book because, on the one hand, it helps in better understanding the topic and, on the other hand, it makes the book more interesting to read. Michael Byram's book is a worthwhile read and welcome addition to our body of knowledge on foreign language education. The book is of manageable size and scope and quite accessible to non-experts. At the same time, it is clearly worded, interesting, useful and opens new avenues for future research and study. -- Tünde Bajzįt, University of Miskolc, Hungary * Linguist List 20.1850 *
