Abstract

This chapter highlights the major issues and practical approaches of interculturality in English language teaching. It also sums up the lessons learnt from the contributions to this volume. It proposes future directions for policy, practices and research which are of relevance to these different studies in order to help both policy makers and practitioners integrate interculturality in their English language teaching and improve the effectiveness of Intercultural English teaching–learning in a variety of contexts. The chapter finally proposes a way forward for the integration of interculturality in English language education.
