The foundational analysis of L1-mediated constructs is followed by an analysis of forms interaction, concepts of identity and constructs of culture/interculture, thus shifting the object of analysis from the subjective to the intersubjective levels of construction and interaction. The focus of the book is on the gradual development of interculturally blended third spaces in the mind of the learner as genuinely new bases for construction. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on research in cultural psychology, linguistic anthropology, critical theory, language acquisition and second language learning and shows how culture and interculture need to be emphasized as an integral part of second language learning.Trends in applied linguistics ;8.Second language acquisitionIntercultural communicationStudy and teachingMulticultural educationStudy and teachingCommunicative competenceTestingLanguage and cultureStudy and teachingApplied Linguistics.Intercultural Competence.Language and Culture.Second Language Learning.Third Space.Second language acquisition.Intercultural communicationStudy and teaching.Multicultural educationStudy and teaching.Communicative competenceTesting.Language and cultureStudy and teaching.418.0071Witte Arnd1524226MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788821303321Blending spaces3764875UNINA
