“It is undoubtedly an important and practical book for educators and language teachers to help learners effectively develop intercultural competence. … this book provides researchers and language teachers with the critical tools needed to challenge instrumentalist approaches to communication in a diverse global context, characterized by conflict and fear of the other and fresh insights to scholars of education, applied linguistics, and sociology.” (Weiping Wu and Ting Li, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 14, 2020)
