Abstract

Starting from the assumption that Teaching and Learning Languages and Intercultural Communication is not a neutral enterprise, in this introduction to a collected volume the authors sketch out topics and issues of Critical Pedagogy which, as a movement and an intellectual field, engages with the political and ideological questions raised in educational practices. The concepts which contain the richest potential for langugage / culture educators and which are proposed and elaborated by the authors of the contributions to this volume are here introduced and discussed, namely, reflection, dissent, difference, dialogue, empowerment, action and hope.
