Fashioning an Intercultural Voice


Intercultural awareness and plurilingualism are central concerns of the Common European Framework, challenging the way ‘target culture’ is traditionally treated in ELT materials. This practical talk looks at research into learner autobiographies and the conclusions that can be drawn from students’ observations about their own language learning. It promotes the use of global and local topics and learner-generated tasks in which students are encouraged to seek out a space where they can fashion their own voice and vision of English.
