Joseph Shaules Book order

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.

A much-needed exploration drawing on neuroscience, cultural psychology, and exciting reports from the field. Joseph Shaules goes beyond the excellence of his previous books. Stefan Meister, Managing Director, Intercultures

This book reviews the hidden cultural challenges of adapting to life abroad. Combining intercultural theory with the lived experiences of sojourners, it reviews key concepts, introduces a cultural learning model, explains hidden barriers to intercultural sensitivity, and brings clarity to debates about globalization and cultural difference.
