Review

Language educators have recognized that the goals of intercultural citizenship along with matters related to social justice are critical to the contemporary endeavor of teaching languages. In this volume, major figures in the field join a diverse array of scholars to skillfully advance our discipline. An impactful work! * Terry A. Osborn, University of South Florida, USA *The editors of this work have assembled a unique group of experienced educators dedicated to addressing a compelling and timely topic for everyone in today's world. The various contributors examine the topic of intercultural citizenship and describe various approaches to teaching and developing intercultural citizenship, a topic relevant not only to those interested in ethnicities, diversity, bilingual-biculturals, immigrants and refugees, but to everyone else, everywhere. * Alvino E. Fantini, School for International Training, USA *Building on the seminal work of Michael Byram, this timely and important volume offers valuable insight into the complex construct of intercultural citizenship and provides educators with fresh ideas to bridge the gap between related theory and practice within the context of second language teaching and learning. Highly recommended! * Jane Jackson, Professor Emerita, The Chinese University of Hong Kong *This volume is a seminal step in the reconceptualization of current language education, urging educators and learners alike to embrace a broader, more socially conscious understanding of what it means to teach and learn languages. * Xinying Wu and Bin Shao, Zhejiang University, China, TESOL Journal 2024 *
