Conclusion

Abstract

This concluding chapter encourages readers to find their own ways to interpret and apply the ideas in this work. It points out that effective language and culture pedagogy is highly personal, and is informed by the insights and experiences of the educator. It argues that there is a need for deep learning approaches to language and culture pedagogy, because globalization and information technology lends itself to surface forms of intercultural contact. It explains that the DMLL is simply one approach to deep learning pedagogy, and calls for an ongoing conversation about different paths that can lead us to deeper forms of language and culture learning.
