The task-based and intercultural approach in Foreign Language Classes: Do we need to teach culture when teaching a foreign language?
Session
Language and Culture
Description
The task-based and intercultural approach are key concepts of modern foreign language teaching. In addition, they are among the Council of Europe's most important requirements for the training of foreign language teachers. But how are the teachers handling with this? How do they prepare for task-based and intercultural language courses and how do they motivate their students? On the other part of my research I observe how students perceive foreign language teaching? Can they see the concrete / task-based and intercultural aspect in the representations of their teachers? In my presentation at the conference I would like to put the stress on the student’s point of view, focusing on the importance of culture when it comes to foreign language teaching.
