Mediating Languages and Cultures: Towards an Intercultural Theory of Foreign Language EducationDieter Buttjes, Michael Byram Multilingual Matters, 1991 - 333 páginas The history of "language teaching" is shot through with methods and approaches to language learning - most recently with "communicative language teaching" - but this book demonstrates that a more differentiated and richer understanding of learning a foreign language is both necessary and desirable. Languages and cultures are interlinked and interdependent and their teaching and learning should be too. Learning another language is part of a complex process of learning and understanding other people's ways of life, ways of thinking and socio-economic experience |
