<p>This volume demonstrates the worldwide dissemination and far-reaching influence of Michael Byram’s thoughts and can function as excellent supplementary reading to his classic works. It could benefit readers such as language teachers and novice researchers, just like me. The critical examination of Byram’s work can help readers to develop an indepth understanding of his concepts and gain valuable insights for future ICC research and practice. The concrete examples of the innovative applications of his theories in locally appropriate ways can stimulate pedagogical innovations in language teaching practice.</p>
Li Yi (Jessie), Sun Yat-sen University, China, Educational Review, 2023
<p>I found the volume accessible, coherent, and well-edited. A significant contribution of the book is that it provides a thoughtful account of the evolution and impact of Byram’s work in intercultural learning with individual chapters offering critical evaluations or reflections on different aspects of his work.</p>
Yunwen Su, University of Utah, USA, TESOL Quarterly
<p>...the volume confirms that Byram’s ICC scholarship continues to offer a springboard for researchers to critique, refine, and propose new ideas for research and teaching, with a lasting and significant impact on language learning and teaching practices. We believe that these conceptual and pedagogical innovations will continue to transform the landscape of language education in the coming decades.</p>
