Reihe: New Perspectives on Teaching Interculturality

This book focuses on intercultural communication in Qatar, exploring local epistemologies and ethical practices that influence pedagogical methods for school and university curricula.

This book provides an in-depth look at intercultural education in primary and secondary schools, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in various schools, departments, and colleges in Qatar. It suggests effective cross-cultural pedagogies for intercultural exchange in the Qatari context and details how to develop intercultural competencies and dialogical models. The book also explores how intercultural encounters are manifested in Qatari culture through verbal or nonverbal forms of communication, personal space, cultural identity, media, access perspectives, and language learning. The volume includes both insider and diaspora perspectives and addresses a wide range of contentious issues such as communication with minority groups, the possibilities of global citizenship, intercultural and interfaith dialogues, the internationalization of education, and the role of the intercultural translator. It aims to promote learning skills that enable and diversify effective participation in social reform, knowledge dissemination, conviviality, and citizenship.

The title will serve as a valuable reference for international education and intercultural communication and teaching, especially in the context of Qatar.
