Abstract:
In the current age of globalisation and migration, intercultural competence is one of the most important key competences in many professions and has become a priority aim in school and university education. The demand for a systematic development of intercultural competence is a constant concern in foreign language education in particular.
This international volume emphasises the empirical investigation of processes of intercultural learning and development and the issue of assessment with particular reference to the context of foreign language learning.
