Phiona Stanley

A Critical Auto/Ethnography of Learning Spanish (eBook, ePUB)

Intercultural competence on the gringo trail?

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study contributes to theoretical understandings of how intercultural competence develops through intercultural contact situations through a detailed, multiple case study of three conceptually comparable contexts in which Western backpackers study Spanish in Latin America. The study is a critical ethnography with elements of autoethnographic reflection. The book therefore also contributes to development of this qualitative research methodology and provides an empirical example of its application.
