内容简介：

ForeignLanguage Education is handicapped by paradoxes that prevent it from furtheringits mission. Methods are often taught without epistemology, students tend tocommunicate without contents. Teaching of cultures is often sanitized andstereotyped. Teacher educators professionalize student teachers who rarelyunderstand their own cultural identity, potential foreignness and otherness.The way to deal with these contradictions is to articulate new priorities andreconceptualize the field as the inescapable branch of learning for world peaceand social justice. Deep content-based learning places the emphasis on thequality of professional development within the accomplishment of projects.Professor Tochon offers a new perspective on educative practice, which targetstransdisciplinary aims. The deep learning process gives rise to a variety ofoutcomes that cannot always be fully anticipated. Therefore, deep evaluation isopen and focuses on creative work. Deep content-based learning places theemphasis on the quality of the acquisition process and proficiency developmentwithin the accomplishment of projects.

These identities rest upon deeply rooted cultures and traditions.Good social, economic and political alliances and relationships rely on mutualunderstanding.
