Language, Culture, and the Embodied Mind

Více o knize

Exploring the intricate relationship between language and culture, this book highlights the paradox of their separation in educational settings. It argues that language embodies the thoughts, values, and perspectives of its speakers, yet foreign language teaching often prioritizes skills over cultural understanding. By addressing this disconnect, the text advocates for a more integrated approach to language education that emphasizes the importance of cultural context alongside linguistic proficiency.
