Cultural Studies and Language Learning by Michael Byram
This is an account of a major research project which studies the contribution of foreign language teaching to learners' perceptions of and attitudes towards the people and way of life whose language they are learning. Teaching and learning in the secondary school were investigated by qualitative and quantitative methods over a 3-year period. The analysis models the many intra- and extra-school influences and sources of information and relationship of language teaching to other factors in learners' environment. By comparing these cases with an ideal model of language and culture teaching, the book points the way towards modification and improvement of existing practices.
