A tartalomból:

With today’s technological advancements, rapid pace and constant socialcultural-economic changes induced by globalization, there is much more to communication and language education in the 21st century than ever before. Future professionals need to be prepared for meeting demands that our continuously changing technical, cultural, social, personal and environmental contexts produce day by day. This volume focuses on some of these demands in training foreign language educators and language specialists (language teachers, mentors, language mediators,
communication experts, etc.) and provides guidance for the various actors of these fields based on research and teaching experiences in the Hungarian higher education context. The book has been built around Ildikó Lázár’s metaphor, appearing repeatedly in her publications, that we need to turn to our “mirrors” (to see ourselves) and to look out of the “windows” around us (to see others)
to understand the world better. These approaches reflect a mindset that allows people to develop transversal attitudes, skills and knowledge, which we propose to use as “bridges” if – as foreign language teachers, trainers or other language professionals – we intend to get across to and support our students, colleagues or fellow citizens in not merely surviving, but also successfully dealing with the requirements of today’s world. The volume has three parts: Part 1 reports on conceptual and empirical research related to language and culture in the age of globalization; Part 2 focuses on language teacher education and shares research related to 21st-century needs and experiences; Part 3 turns to the good practices identified in dealing with new challenges in foreign language teacher education. The volume may be useful for language and communication students and teachers, for university programmes training language teachers, mentor teachers, language mediators, communication experts and educational policy makers as well as for researchers working in these fields.
