Intercultural language learning in practice: some approaches

SILLiSS teams explored the intercultural language learning approach in a very diverse range of learning sequences. The following draft planning documents and student work samples celebrate some of that diversity and provide a starting point for further exploration.

• Personal and social identity and relationship to place:
  Identity and place: how does where I live influence who I am?
  Whose place is this?
• Critical literacy:
  Can we judge a magazine by its cover?
  
• Language and literacy:
  The Spare Room – a novel study
  
• Cultural misunderstandings communicated through art and ICT:
  Are words enough? (words, faces, meaning)
