A new challenge for us?
—Above all, we want to demonstrate that an
Intercultural Dimension does not mean yet another
new method of language teaching but rather a
natural extension of what most teachers recognize
as important […]
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages :
learning, teaching, assessment
—However, we are very adept at teaching
language, but not necessarily at teaching
intercultural communication.
—What skills do we need to have, as teachers?

Report of the Council of Europe
(continued)
The 'best' teacher is neither the native nor the non-native
speaker, but the person who can help learners see
relationships between their own and other cultures, can help
them acquire interest in and curiosity about 'otherness', and
an awareness of themselves and their own cultures seen from
other people's perspectives. (2002)
