Description
This book is a compilation of case studies and analyses that can be used as a resource guide for college and university professors of foreign language and academic museum educators collaborating to develop new pedagogical approaches to teaching foreign language with and through objects in the academic museum. As institutions of higher education respond to the needs of an increasingly global and interconnected world, their educational missions prioritize learning in areas such as interdisciplinary thinking, collaboration, intercultural competency, and global citizenship. Academic museums are uniquely poised to facilitate learning experiences in these areas, providing institutions with an essential platform for realizing their larger mission.
