Beschreibung

This book takes a look at the affordances of engaging second/foreign language students in educational projects that bridge the gap between the classroom and the museum. Studies on language learning and teaching beyond the classroom have shown that students learn in different settings and through different types of activities and that their learning is influenced by the intersection of different dimensions. Drawing on both language and museum learning and teaching research, this book discusses the aspects that make the museum an ideal language learning setting and then outlines evidence-based pedagogical guidelines to design effective learning experiences for language learners across the classroom and the museum. It will be of interest to graduate students, language teachers, teacher trainers, museum educators, and researchers in fields including Educational Linguistics, Anthropological Linguistics, and Museum Studies (Education).
