Rethinking Foreign Language Teaching in the UK: What Curriculum for a Multi-Ethnic Society?

Byram, Michael

Journal of Curriculum Studies, v20 n3 p247-55 May-Jun 1988

Discusses the conceptual link between multicultural education and foreign-language teaching; both of which intend to develop understanding and tolerance of others. Examines the difference between foreign languages and the ethnic minority community languages which are now being favored by education officials as a means of sensitizing majority students to ethnic minority cultures.
