The present volume contains 14 articles on the notion of Intercultural Understanding, both inside and outside the foreign language class-room. Since this area is highly controversial in language teaching in general and in German as a Foreign Language in particular, the editors have tried to unfold as comprehensive a picture as possible with regard to the diversity of the present debate.

The Editors: Dr. Theo Harden is Senior Lecturer in German at the National University of Ireland in Dublin. Dr. Arnd Witte is Senior Lecturer in German at the National University of Ireland in Maynooth.
