ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the research on intercultural language learning, particularly with the understanding of method as an epistemological tool for grasping diversity and incorporating multidimensional and reflective viewpoints into current research practices. Although the impact of transnational and complex global shifts is increasingly recognized in the understanding of reflexive modes of being and becoming intercultural, a critical and investigative focus on the methods we use to represent intercultural multiplicity remains often a desideratum. The chapter examines on a general level and understands methods in the area of intercultural language education and, based on this reflection, argues for a rethinking of method around the elements of movement and transformation. 'Weaving' implies an awareness of the positioning and subjectivity of the researcher, not the researcher alone in form of an isolated unit but as embedded in, and journeying across, the research context.
