role and impact of conviction in the public sphere, education, and

personal convictions "wrong" It brings together scholars from
multiple fields, such as philosophy, psychology, comparative
literature, media studies, applied linguistics, intercultural
communication, and education It will be of particular interest to
scholars in communication and journalism studies, media studies,

and are called upon to examine
This book provides a contemporary and critical examination of the
theoretical and pedagogical impact of Michael Byram's pioneering
work on intercultural communicative competence and intercultural
citizenship within the field of language education and beyond. The
chapters address important theoretical and empirical work on the
teaching, learning, and assessment of intercultural learning, and
highlight how individual language educators and communities of
practice enact intercultural learning in locally appropriate ways.
The book offers comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible knowledge
for researchers, teachers, teacher-trainers and students.

This ground-breaking book is the first to describe in detail how
teachers, supported by university educators and education advisers,
might plan and implement innovative ideas based on sound
theoretical foundations. Focusing on the teaching and learning of
intercultural communicative competence in foreign language
classrooms in the USA, the authors describe a collaborative project
in which graduate students and teachers planned, implemented and
reported on units which integrated intercultural competence in a
systematic way in classrooms ranging from elementary to university
level. The authors are clear and honest about what worked and what
didn't, both in their classrooms and during the process of
collaboration. This book will be required reading for both scholars
and teachers interested in applying academic theory in the
classroom, and in the teaching of intercultural competence.

The contributors to this volume have collaborated to present their
work on introducing competences in intercultural communication and
citizenship into foreign language education. The book examines how
learners and teachers think about citizenship and interculturality,
and shows how teachers and researchers from primary to university
education can work together across continents to develop new
curricula and pedagogy. This involves the creation of a new theory
of intercultural citizenship and a procedure for implementation.
The book is written by teacher researchers who aim to help other
teachers, and concludes with reflections on the lessons they have
learnt which will help others to implement these ideas in their own
practice. The book is essential reading for foreign language
educators and researchers, students in pre-service teacher training
and teachers in in-service training.
Teaching Intercultural Citizenship Across the Curriculum: The Role
of Language Education explores how language educators can advocate
for and illustrate the importance of language education not only
for their students’ education but also for their ability to solve
complex problems we urgently need to address. This book introduces
readers to theory and practice in planning, teaching, and assessing
intercultural communication and citizenship across the curriculum.
Teachers, teacher educators, and curriculum designers gain a better
understanding of designing (world) language curricula for
intercultural citizenship by making connections to the students’
knowledge and experiences from other subjects. This enables
students to apply what they learn in language education in their
lives in the here and now.The aim of the book is also to help
language educators work together with teachers of other subjects
(e.g., mathematics, sciences, English language arts) to broaden
students’ understandings and strengthen their intercultural
citizenship development. Theoretical investigations are illustrated
with practical examples and lesson plans from world language
education and linked to other subjects through discipline-specific
content. Questions for reflection encourage the reader to interact
more deeply with the concepts and the suggested examples.
Supporting materials are provided which teachers can adapt for
implementation in their own program.
The bronze bull from Weltenburg and the owls on wheel linchpins
from Manching are among the best known animal depictions among
Bavaria's rich assemblage of Bronze and Iron Age metalwork. In
addition to the aesthetic beauty of such pieces, they are
particularly useful for identifying the ideologies and beliefs of
the people who made them. Wagner's examines the historical context,
production techniques and symbolism of these Bavarian objects,
using comparisons with contemporary fauna for reference. Wagner
also considers emotional and practical relationships between humans
and animals and how repesentations of these relationships in
objects and art identify cultures. Concludes with an illustrated
catalofue of over 200 items.
