It does so by a journey through reflections on what is possible and desirable in the classroom and how language teaching has a specific role in education systems which have long had, and often still have, the purpose of encouraging young people to identify with the nation-state. Foreign language education can break through this framework to introduce a critical internationalism. In a ‘globalised’ and ‘internationalised’ world, the importance of identification with people beyond the national borders is crucial. Combined with education for citizenship, foreign language education can offer an education for ‘intercultural citizenship’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI 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.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Professor John Corbett, Department of English, University of Glasgow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Tünde Bajzát, University of Miskolc, Hungary * Linguist List 20.1850 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePurposes\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1 Foreign Language Education in Context\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2 Purposes for Foreign Language Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePossibilities\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3 Is Language Learning Possible at School?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4 The Intercultural Speaker – Acting Interculturally or Being Bicultural\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e5 Intercultural Competence and Foreign Language Learning in the Primary School\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6 Analysis and Advocacy: Researching the Cultural Dimensions of Foreign Language Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePerspectives\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e7 Nationalism and Internationalism in Language Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e8 Language Learning in Europe\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e9 Foreign Language Teaching as Political Action\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eII INTERCULTURAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e10 Language Education, Political Education and Intercultural Citizenship\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e11 Education for Intercultural Citizenship\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e12 Policies for Intercultural Citizenship Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e13 Curricula for Intercultural Citizenship Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e14 Assessment and\/or Evaluation of Intercultural Competence and Intercultural Citizenship\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel View Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043003236695,"sku":"9781847690791","price":66.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781847690791.jpg?v=1750956611","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-foreign-language-education-to-education-for-intercultural-citizenship-essays-and-reflections-9781847690791","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
