Culture in Language Learning

This publication is the result of a conference held in Copenhagen on 18th May 2004 entitled ‘Culture in Language Learning’. It was organized within the framework of the Danish Language and Culture Network, which was founded in September 2002 with the aim of establishing and encouraging a discussion of the goals, visions and objects of foreign language studies in Denmark, and covers a whole range of interrelated disciplines and subdisciplines such as language, literature, culture, society, history and learning. The network has given rise to a series of conferences and conference publications including Hansen 2002 and Hansen 2004. A focal point in the discussions has been to develop a more integrated view of foreign language studies than has traditionally been the case.

This volume seeks to explore these disciplines and subdisciplines from a language perspective by asking questions such as: In what ways is culture a part of language and of language learning and teaching? What does it mean to learn and teach a foreign (or second) language in the world of today?
