Teaching of Culture in English as an International Language

'This book is unique in the study of teaching culture in foreign language learning in its focus on An Integrated Model for Non-Native English Countries. Its value, however, is not just for scholars and teachers of foreign languages in An Integrated Model for Non-Native English Countries, but for all who are interested in language learning in an increasing complex and globalising worked in which intercultural communication is of the essence. An important book that contributes to a better intercultural world by improving the teaching of culture in language teaching.' — Anja Swennen, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

'The book creates a dedicated space for reflecting on ways of teaching culture in foreign language classroom, a very under-researched area. It contains an ambitious yet refreshing endeavour to review, compare and integrate the existing models or arguments about ways of teaching culture in language learning over four geopolitical areas. By situating cultural learning in foreign language classroom in wider political contexts, the book offers some thought-provoking observations on different approaches and foci in teaching and learning culture and proposes an alternative, integrated model sensitive to contexts.' — Zhu Hua, Professor of Applied Linguistics and Communication, University of London
