SUMMARY:From Language Learning to Intercultural Learning: Rethinking Educational Practices
DESCRIPTION:From Language Learning to Intercultural Learning: Rethinking Educational Practices    How can intercultural learning become a meaningful part of everyday educational practice rather than an isolated language classroom topic or an assumed outcome of international exposure? In this talk, Dr. Hofmeyr will share practical approaches to integrating intercultural competence into language education and the wider learning environment. She will explore how teachers can use materials, activities, and interactions both within and outside the classroom to encourage curiosity, reflection, and engagement with diversity. Recognising that educators work within different institutional structures, Dr. Hofmeyr will also discuss the roles of teacher education, leadership, and institutional support. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own contexts and identify ways to make intercultural learning more intentional, inclusive, and sustainable.    Presenter bio:  Dr. Ana Sofia Hofmeyr is Associate Professor at Kansai University, Japan, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of St Andrews. She holds a PhD in Transformative Education from the University of Osaka, and an MA in Culture and Identity Studies from the University of St Andrews. She teaches English as a foreign language and intercultural competence courses. Her research focuses on fostering intercultural competence through foreign language education and other internationalisation-at-home initiatives.    Event Link: The Teams link for this event will be shared by email with registered attendees in early December. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/from-language-learning-to-intercultural-learning-rethinking-educational-practices/
