• Consider what is meant by intercultural understanding
• Discuss potential ICU learning activities
Learning a new language provides unique opportunities for pupils to explore national identities and become aware of both similarities and contrasts between the cultures of different countries, including their own.
Key conceptsThere are a number of key concepts that underpin the study of languages. Pupils need to understand these concepts in order to deepen and broaden their knowledge, skills and understanding.
Intercultural understandinga Appreciating the richness and diversity of
other cultures.b Recognising that there are different ways of
seeing the world, and developing an international outlook.
Key Stage 3 Framework for Languages
‘Cultural knowledge (that is, information about thetarget culture, its typical patterns of behaviour andits attitudes) is likely to be ‘external’, ‘static’,‘stereotypical’ and ‘reduced’; that is, it tends to beknowledge that is passed on to a learner fromsomeone else, rather than arising from the learner’sown experience; it reflects broad generalisationsoften based on a narrow selection of evidence. Andwhile such knowledge can give us pointers todifferences in behaviours and values, it can also bemisleading.’
Tomlinson and Masuahara (2004)
.....an approach to culture which emphasises not information about a culture but skills in exploring, observing and understanding difference and sameness, and perhaps most centrally, ‘suspension of judgement, i.e. not being instantly critical of other people’s apparently deviant behaviour’
(Tomlinson and Masuhara, 2004)

Language learning won’t change a person, but the
development of intercultural understanding allows language
learning to be the agent for change in a person.
