Intercultural Foreign Language Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Contexts. Advances in Educational Technologies and Instructional Design (AETID) Book Series
Romanowski, Piotr, Ed.; Bandura, Ewa, Ed.
IGI Global
While research into intercultural teaching has grown exponentially during the past two decades, the research has primarily resorted to the use of quantitative data collection instruments and the interpretation of scores calculated through them. As such, studies in the field can seem somewhat decontextualized, ignoring in some cases setting-specific parameters. Therefore, further study is needed to bring together theory, research, and practice demonstrating how this teaching is reflected in research design and how it is undertaken in different settings. "Intercultural Foreign Language Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Contexts" is an essential reference source that provides a series of rich insights into the way intercultural education is practiced in numerous international contexts and showcases practical examples of teaching situations and classroom activities that demonstrate its impact within the classroom. Featuring research on topics such as higher education, multilingualism, and professionalism, this book is ideally designed for educators, researchers, administrators, professionals, academicians, and students seeking pedagogical guidance on intercultural teaching. This book contains the following chapters: (1) Intercultural Challenges of Teaching in Multilingual/Multicultural Classrooms (Éva Csillik); (2) Acculturation of Syrian Refugees in Turkey as a Condition for Successful SLA (Esim Gürsoy and Leyla Deniz Ertasoglu); (3) Politeness, Intercultural Communication, E-Mails: Principles and Practices (Elisabetta Pavan); (4) Bringing Cross-Cultural Communication Analysis Into Foreign Language Classrooms (Trudy O'Brien); (5) Intercultural Language Teaching in an Era of Internationalization (Michael Byram); (6) Beyond the Script: Intercultural Communicative Competence, Professionalism, and "Narrative Tourism" (John Corbett); (7) Mobilizing Essentialist Frameworks in Non-Essentialist Intercultural Training (Jan Van Maele and Annelies Messelink); (8) The Hemispheres Connection (Bruno Lima and Hugo Dart); (9) A Core Skill for Higher Education: Intercultural Competence in China, Europe, and the USA (Christopher Brighton, Lingbin Wang, Yingting Chen, and Xu Gong); (10) Networking-Based Strategies of Intercultural Communicative Competence Development Among Kazakhstani University Students (Azamat Akbarov); (11) Pre-Service Teachers' Intercultural Sensitivity, Multicultural Efficacy, and Attitudes Toward Multilingualism (Ioannis Karras, Julia A. Spinthourakis, and Vasilia Kourtis-Kazoullis); and (12) Intercultural Pragmatics as Part of Intercultural Education for Teachers (Agnieszka A. Strzalka).
