Description
The Department of Language, Cultures and Visual Studies at the University of Exeter is hosting an online conference to bring together researchers, professionals and practitioners with expertise in Intercultural Competence and Global Citizenship.Intercultural competence is essential to operate in our multicultural world and it is an educational goal of Higher Education. Although traditionally the centrality of the development of intercultural competence in language learning has made Modern Language programmes and Foreign Language Centres ideal sites of intercultural expertise, intercultural competence increasingly plays a central role in the Higher Education Internationalization and Global Citizenship Educational agenda since it is an essential competence in a culturally and linguistically diverse society.
All graduates should therefore be well equipped to reflect on how communities of people engage in different social practices grounded in their own values and beliefs, and make sense of the world they live in. It is therefore important that cross-discipline good practices and experiences in terms of teaching and learning in a wide range of settings are shared and disseminated.
The conference is organised by the University of Exeter with the support of AULC (Association of University Language Communities in the UK and Ireland) and UCML (University Council for Modern Languages)
