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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e PART I: TOWARDS AN INTERCULTURAL THEORY OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION\u003cbr\u003e 1.
