Publisher's Synopsis
Cultural content as well as intercultural and culture-reflective aspects are key concepts in foreign language pedagogy. But how are these key concepts reflected in teaching practice and teaching materials? This book provides a sound theoretical basis of research concerning both teaching materials and culture pedagogy. In a contextualized textbook analysis, we explore to what extent research insights are integrated into six frequently used Dutch and Polish course books for beginning adolescent learners of German. A selection of good practice examples from international teaching materials display the implementation of various cultural contents and provide input for a wide array of cultural activities and teaching objectives, which can be directly implemented in teaching practice.
