Languages and Cultures of the Mind

This book gathers a collection of essays that address a variety of themes related to bilingual education and language teaching, ranging from Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), through intercultural awareness, heritage languages, internationalisation, and pre- and in-service teacher education, to didactic audiovisual translation.

This book gathers a collection of original contributions that chart emerging landscapes in 21st-century plurilingual education. The beating heart of the whole volume is bilingual and intercultural education, which has become a moral imperative for education systems worldwide. In an increasingly globalised world, citizens should ideally be equipped with competences that allow them to take part in a global conversation where new forms of knowledge are being produced. The selected essays address a wide range of pertinent themes related to bilingual education and language teaching, ranging from Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), through intercultural awareness, heritage languages, internationalisation, and pre- and in-service teacher education, to didactic audiovisual translation as a tool that enhances learner-centred pedagogies
