ABSTRACT

The conclusion to Developing Intercultural Language Learning Materials summarises each of the four parts of the book, charting its theory to practice structure. It reiterates the core premise of the book, that intercultural competence has a global reach, transcending language proficiency and seeking enhanced understanding and communication between and among cultures. The conclusion thus anticipates that its readership may include not only practitioners, researchers and academics in the fields of language and cultural studies but those in other associated disciplines and contexts.
