In a world that faces global challenges, the development of cross cultural awareness and competences has become a topic of the utmost relevance. Educational systems, in order to offer the best quality education possible, must bear in mind this need for a multicultural instruction. But, are teachers, students and education institutions or administrations ready for this?
This book will address theoretical reflections on intercultural awareness displayed by teachers and teacher trainers and by educational administrations, as well as best practices and successful cases. Chapters on curriculum design and the development of programs for multicultural instruction, on how language, culture and identity are entangled in the classroom and on methodologies that favor multicultural awareness in the classroom will be welcome.
We hope this book will be a reference guide, a contribution to the topic and a practical resource for teachers in every stage and, especially, for teachers trainers, lecturers and education professionals in the fields of Cultural Studies, Sociology and Education, among others.
