| Publisher Description: The book deals with the question how students in multicultural EFL-classrooms can be prepared for their role as world citizens. The author shows that teaching English offers important potentials for cosmopolitan education due to its role as a lingua franca . The study develops the construct cosmopolitan communicative competence as a theoretical framework. It also presents a teaching approach that combines students' life-writing with the discussion of literary texts to advance the associated knowledge, skills and attitudes. The potentials of this approach are evaluated through the assessment of students' competence development. |
