Their collaborative aim was to develop students? intercultural capability in the context of learning a new language. The school participants were typical of many in New Zealand?s pre-secondary sector; the teachers had limited language-teaching experience and limited prior knowledge of how to develop the intercultural dimension in their language classrooms, and the students were largely at the beginning stages of learning a new language. The book discusses the findings obtained using a range of data collection methods, including classroom observations, reflective interviews with teachers, and focus groups with students. It documents instances of breakthrough and growth for teachers and students and reveals the problems and tensions. Lastly, it reflects on the lessons learned in the course of this project and speculates on the roles that teacher education needs to play if the goal of intercultural capability is to be better achieved in language classrooms, both in New Zealand and internationally. Of interest to a wide range of stakeholders in the area of education, the book allows readers to gain an understanding of the opportunities of working with teachers through an action?research model, alongside the challenges that this brings and ways in which intercultural capability may be strengthened. 410 0$aIntercultural Communication and Language Education 606 $aEnsenyament de la llengua$2thub 606 $aEducació intercultural$2thub 607 $aNova Zelanda$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aCommunicative Language Teaching 610 $aLanguage Education in New Zealand 610 $aLanguage Education Curriculum 610 $aIntercultural Skills 610 $aIntercultural Language Pedagogy 610 $aNew Zealand Schools 615 7$aEnsenyament de la llengua 615 7$aEducació intercultural 700 $aEast$b Martin$0950796 701 $aTolosa$b Constanza$01238231 701 $aHoward$b Jocelyn$01238232 701 $aBiebricher$b Christine$01238233 701 $aScott$b Adele$f1951-$01246166 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910568287103321 996 $aJourneys Towards Intercultural Capability in Language Classrooms$92889663 997 $aUNINA
