Jennifer Eddy's highly original book provides teachers on both sides of the Atlantic with a design framework and a rich array of creative tasks with which, individually and collaboratively, to bridge the all too frequent gap between language learning and communicative language use that engages with real-world cultural issues. * David Little, Professor, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland * Examines how language teachers can design an innovative and intercultural curriculum, whilst making language and culture become alive through performance assessment tasks. The book provides a plethora of creative and bespoke examples for transfer in the classroom and beyond, allowing students to truly engage in deeper learning and understanding with the language and culture they are studying. The book is full of practical examples that are very easily accessible. * Fotini Diamantidaki, Associate Professor of Languages Education and Applied Linguistics, UCL IOE Faculty of Education and Society, UK * A must-read for any practitioner wishing to implement a curriculum based on Byram's ICC model. Extensively researched and grounded in best practices, Eddy takes teachers beyond the basics to help them design meaningful activities addressing ever-relevant issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice in manageable and impactful ways. * Gay Rawson, Professor and Chair of the Department of World Languages and Cultures at Concordia College, USA *
