The teaching of culture and interculturality is today viewed as an
integral part of foreign language education. This book presents
insights from recent research on the role of culture in
second/foreign and heritage language education. It contains 14
chapters including an introductory chapter that discusses
diachronically the evolving notion of culture and how the
sociocultural view of culture as a complex and dynamic concept
informs language teaching and language learning research. The
chapters following the introduction are organised in four parts
focusing on: 1) the teacher's role in integrated language and
culture learning; 2) the interrelationship between culture,
identity, and language learning and use; 3) the effect of culture
on learner characteristics which impact language learning processes
and outcomes; and 4) curriculum development aimed at fostering
language and culture learning. The chapters in Parts 1 to 3 present
contributions from current research - either in the form of the
authors' original studies or comprehensive reviews of relevant
essential research - which bears important implications for
curricular practice in foreign language and language teacher
education. This close link between research, theory and practice is
also maintained in the two chapters in Part 4, which present
developmental projects based on well-grounded theoretical
frameworks.
