β¦ Synopsis
The recognition that cultural learning is an integral part of foreign language learning is quickly taking hold among language teachers. This book offers a practical introduction to the issues by providing descriptions of classroom practice, of curriculum innovation and of experimental courses. These are accompanied by chapters on principles of methodology, on problems in assessing cultural learning and on the implications for teacher education and society at large. Michael Byram is the author of several books on language learning and culture, including "Cultural Studies in Foreign Language Education" (1988), and "Investigating Cultural Studies in Foreign Language Teaching" (1991).
