Riassunto

Building Cultural Bridges in Education is a collection of 15 papers written by scholars from around the world, who came together in their shared interest to promote an understanding of, and appreciation for, the rich and varied contemporary theoretical assumptions and current trends in language, education, linguistics, literature and intercultural communication. As a result, the papers in this volume represent breadth and depth, rigor and relevance in discussion of numerous, and always varying, aspects of scientific discourse and lexis. The purpose of this volume is to highlight that contemporary scholars look upon topical issues through a dynamic global prism and beyond any strict set of rules, which would otherwise lead them to ignore the ever-shifting bridges in education, language teaching, linguistics, literature and culture, and the accompanying global cultural reality. The variety and complexity of these essays offer fresh views to the topic postulated in the book's title, and will additionally stimulate intellectual curiosity and research as well as further development of new ideas within the fields of education, language, literature and cultural studies.
