Isi artikel

The purpose of this article is to suggest a framework of evaluation for in-service courses for language teachers with respect to the degree to which they offer participants the opportunity to become more open to otherness. We describe training courses in five countries (France, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, and the UK) and examine the ways in which they typically bring participants into contact with natives of another culture. A second dimension of this experience may be offered within the training course itself, by ensuring that the participants themselves come from more than one cultural context. Some case studies demonstrate in more detail the experience of otherness within' training courses. They also challenge the assumption that the best courses are always those which involve residence in a foreign country. Toe article ends with a check-list of questions to guide those who plan training courses and wish to ensure that they contain the elements which will provide for an opening up of the participants to the experience of otherness and the opportunity to reflect upon and learn from that experience.
