There is an odd contradiction at the heart of language and culture
learning: Language and culture are, so to speak, two sides of a
single coin-language reflects the thinking, values and worldview of
its speakers. Despite this, there is a persistent split between
language and culture in the classroom. Foreign language pedagogy is
often conceptualized in terms of gaining knowledge and practicing
skills, while cultural learning goals are often conceptualized in
abstract terms, such as awareness or criticality. This book helps
resolve this dilemma. Informed by brain and mind sciences, its core
message is that language and culture learning can both be seen as a
single, interrelated process-the embodiment of dynamic systems of
meaning into the intuitive mind. This deep learning process is
detailed in the form of the Developmental Model of Linguaculture
Learning (DMLL). Grounded in dynamic skill theory, the DMLL
describes four developmental levels of language and culture
learning, which represents a subtle, yet important shift in
language and culture pedagogy. Rather than asking how to add
culture into language education, we should be seeking ways to make
language and culture learning deeper-more integrated, embodied,
experiential and transformational. This book provides a theoretical
approach, including practical examples, for doing so.
