Description:

This book explores the wide-ranging terminology relevant to intercultural dialogue. It reports on a research project that explored the management of value judgment in foreign language education to overcome prejudice, which is a key dynamic in intercultural dialogue that brings many other factors into play.

Synopsis:

The term intercultural dialogue has become a buzzword at policy level, but there is a pressing need to synchronise the terminology of policymakers with that of academics. An overarching aim of this book is to explore the wide-ranging terminology relevant to intercultural dialogue in order to promote clearer consideration of the underlying issues. More specifically, this book reports the findings of a research project conducted in Japan that brought teaching practice to bear upon some of the main conflicting theoretical perspectives on how value judgment should be managed in foreign language education. At the heart of this issue lies the management of prejudice, which is a key dynamic in intercultural dialogue that brings many other factors into play.
