Description: Language Education in India, over the past few years has evolved with new curricula to serve a varied range of learners at various levels be it in the academia, the business world, in school curriculum or as a hobby class. With ‘global’ being the catch word in all fields, effective communication necessitates not just proficiency in the language concerned, but also in the culture of the land to be able to reach out to its people.

This volume addresses various issues of relevance that pertain to Language Education and focuses on the indispensable role of Culture in Language Education from a variety of perspectives of teaching, and learning. Case studies to ascertain the role of Culture incorporated into the Language classroom have been taken up for Japanese and Korean Languages while addressing issues that would be applicable to many other languages as well.

It is felt that this book would be a good resource material for teachers, researchers, students, educationists, and help to open new vistas of research in fields of Japanese Language Education and Language education at large.
