Description
Summary:Intercultural communication is usually a compulsory component of a TESOL training course. However, it is usually about intercultural communication generally in various contexts. The book Navigating the intercultural classroom bridges intercultural communication especially intercultural competence into language classes by reviewing theoretical background and suggesting specific, concrete practices to enhance both students’ and teachers’ inner growth and awareness of language together with intercultural competence. It was written by two experienced ESOL teachers (teaching English to speakers of other languages) and curriculum developers, Tuula Lindholm and Johanne Mednick Myles, teaching English in multicultural communities. The book was inspired and derived from their experience of teaching international students, from real-life contexts for intercultural communication.
