This book examines the concept of "intercultural competence" from
the perspective of analysing theoretical challenges and practical
issues. Despite its ongoing popularity across various discourses,
"intercultural competence" has remained a necessarily vague and
oscillating concept that lends itself to continual rethinking and
redefinition. The essays in this volume approach the complexity of
the concept from a number of different angles. The essays range
from theoretical considerations of redefining and expanding the
concept in terms of hitherto neglected dimensions and ideas;
critically contextualising issues of assessing intercultural
competence; analysing the virtual dimension of intercultural
competence for the development of critical digital pedagogies;
application of the concept for the teaching and learning of
foreign/second languages, including for migrant learners; the
impact of study abroad on developing intercultural and democratic
literacy; analysis of the concept in classroom practice across
different cultures; and querying the concept for its lack of
teachability. The volume develops a broad range of new perspectives
on intercultural competence, providing stimulating new ideas,
considerations and reflections around this oscillating, yet
relevant concept.
