This book shows that there is complementarity in ‘education’ and ‘training’ in theory and in practice. The first group of chapters focuses on analysis of intercultural experience and the competence needed to be successful in that experience. The following chapters describe the practice of courses in both commercial and educational contexts where it becomes evident that ‘education’ and ‘training’ are indeed complementary without denying the tensions which exist and the expectations different learner groups may have. This book is thus not simply another discussion of the theory of interculturality but a juxtaposition of theory and practice to the benefit of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology is another major achievement from the ‘Durham team’ and is by far their most honest and balanced volume in terms of theory, research and practice. The contributions, skillfully weaved together, offer thought-provoking and inspiring coverage of many untrodden paths of the vital scholarship on intercultural competence.

Often the discourse gets ghettoized into one of those listed and it is exciting to see these brought together so well.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Alison Phipps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough this book, Becoming Interculturally Competent through Education and Training, is the only book in the series that I have read, if it is indicative of the others in its balance of theory and practice and the depth and honesty of its narrative, I will gladly add the others to my library.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Peter van Gelder, The Netherlands * dialogin, February 2010 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword - Adrian Holliday\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eForeword - Anne Davidson-Lund\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction – Education and Training: Becoming Interculturally Competent - Mike Fleming\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart 1 – Investigations of intercultural encounters and learning\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – Cultures of organisations meet ethno-linguistic cultures: narratives in job interviews - Celia Roberts\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 – Exporting the multiple market experience and the SME intercultural paradigm - Terry Mughan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 – Evolving intercultural identity during living and studying abroad: Five Mexican women graduate students - Phyllis Ryan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 – Becoming interculturally competent in a third space - Anwei Feng Part 2 – Reflections on teaching and learning programmes\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 – A Critical Perspective on Teaching Intercultural Competence in a Management Department - Gavin Jack\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 – Applying the principles: Instruments for intercultural business training - Barry Tomalin\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 – Intercultural teacher: A case study of a course - Ulla Lundgren\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 – Using “Human Global Positioning System” as a Navigation Tool to the Hidden Dimension of Culture - Claudia Finkbeiner\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 – Professional training: creating intercultural space in the multi-ethnic workplaces - Catharine Arakelian\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 – The pragmatics of intercultural competence in Education and Training: A cross-national experiment on ‘Diversity Management’ - M.
