The contributors to this volume have collaborated to present their work on introducing competences in intercultural communication and citizenship into foreign language education. The book examines how learners and teachers think about citizenship and interculturality, and shows how teachers and researchers from primary to university education can work together across continents to develop new curricula and pedagogy. This involves the creation of a new theory of intercultural citizenship and a procedure for implementation. The book is written by teacher researchers who aim to help other teachers, and concludes with reflections on the lessons they have learnt which will help others to implement these ideas in their own practice. The book is essential reading for foreign language educators and researchers, students in pre-service teacher training and teachers in in-service training.

This collection of essays and reflections starts from an analysis of the purposes of foreign language teaching and argues that these should include educational objectives which are ultimately similar to those of education for citizenship. It does so by a journey through reflections on what is possible and desirable in the classroom and how language teaching has a specific role in education systems which have long had， and often still have， the purpose of encouraging young people to identify with the nation state. Foreign language education can break through this framework to introduce a critical internationalism. In a 'globalised' and 'internationalised' world， the importance of identification with people beyond the national borders is crucial. Combined with education for citizenship， foreign language education can offer an education for 'intercultural citizenship'.
