Mindful of the fact that cultures are now more interdependent than
ever, this book explores the development of critical cultural
awareness through the processes of teaching and learning about
foreign cultures. It draws upon theoretical foundations relating to
inter- and intra-cultural communication from contemporary
philosophical movements, namely Critical Theory and Postmodernism.
The study adopts Critical Pedagogy, as it is described by Freire,
Giroux and others, as the educational framework providing
guidelines for taking a critical perspective towards both native
and foreign cultures. It examines the critical dimension of some
selected documents and models used worldwide for teaching/learning
culture within foreign language classes. It includes a research
project carried out among secondary school teachers of EFL in
Portugal whose national syllabus suggests a critical approach to
English-speaking cultures. This project aimed to illustrate how
practising teachers approach foreign cultures critically, to
provide some grounded theory for a definition of critical cultural
awareness within foreign language/culture education, and to inspire
a proposal for teacher education and development. Finally, this
book submits a general proposal for the development of critical
cultural awareness and intercultural communication competence among
prospective and practising teachers of foreign languages/cultures.
