- Features numerous examples throughout, drawn from various languages, international contexts, and frameworks
- Incorporates a decade of in-depth research and detailed documentation from the authors’ collaborative work with practicing teachers
- Provides a much-needed addition to the sparse literature on intercultural aspects of language education
