Intercultural Experience and Education [Pehme köide]

Edited by , Edited by , Edited by
Promoting the expansion of the understanding of interculturalality beyond the usual use in discussions of multicultural education and foreign language training, the editors (all members of the School of Education, U. of Durham, UK) present 13 papers that seek to demonstrate how intercultural experience can enrich all areas of education and even fundamentally realign ways of thinking and acting in education. Aside from this broad aim, the contributions approach the topic from a range of perspectives within education. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution.
