Intercultural Learning in Modern Language Education - Expanding Meaning-Making Potentials

This book presents an ethnographic study of a modern language classroom where students not only learn to speak, read, listen or write a new language, but where they also learn to understand, to feel and to be in new ways, and to potentially transform themselves and the world around them through language study.
