      abstract = {This book explores the benefits of teaching reflection  upon one's own culture to develop intercultural competence  and looks into the relationship between the proficiency  level of the second language and the target culture. It  introduces new debates on the concept of 'critical cultural  awareness' in intercultural learning and teaching, for  example the indiscriminate use of terminologies related to  the idea of 'intercultural encounters'. Also, it provides  insight into the relationship between language and culture  using a new tool such as the Autobiography of Intercultural  Encounters through Visual Media. The presentation of  different approaches, tools, barriers, educational and  cultural realities, online intercultural exchange projects  and concepts such as motivation, attitudes, stereotyping,  otherization, and critical cultural awareness makes this  book an excellent instrument not only for teachers but also  for researchers, policy-makers and private and public  institutions that want to explore culture and  interculturality and to promote an intercultural competence  and global citizenship among its learners / users / clients  and / or an interculturally-oriented language education.},
