Reviews

The intercultural approach serves to develop language learners’ intercultural communicative competence which is more relevant than ever before in the globally interconnected world. Drawing on current research, the book provides a systematic discussion on the viable ways to apply intercultural approach to English teaching. It contributes much to the field. * Xiaodong Dai, Shanghai Normal University, China * Wide-ranging, multifaceted and interactive, this ground-breaking and engaging work has now been extensively revised and updated. Professor Corbett’s new edition will ensure that this remains the go-to book for ELT teachers and researchers seeking an authoritative overview of the intersections between English language and intercultural communication for many years to come. * Malcolm N. MacDonald, University of Warwick, UK * This is a superb revision of the already splendid 2003 edition. The book has been completely updated by adding new material, redistributing the contents and incorporating recent debates and developments in the field of interculturality in relation to English language teaching. It makes a pleasant and engaging read for a wide audience of both language teachers and scholars. * María José Coperías-Aguilar, University of Valencia, Spain * The book successfully describes the intellectual context and practical means of implementing an intercultural approach to ELT, demonstrating both theoretical and practical significance. For its theoretical significance, it broadens our knowledge of different disciplines [...] One of the most prominent features of this book is its open-mindedness. After each section, there are some reflective questions to guide the understanding of the following section. They prompt readers to reflect on their own educational practices and to interject creativity into the understanding of culture in ELT.  -- Yufei Ren, Tsinghua University, China * LINGUIST List 33.2870 *
