Interculturality in Language Teacher Education: Theoretical and Practical Considerations contributes to the ongoing discussions about the need to move towards an intercultural orientation in language teacher education; however, it pushes disciplinary boundaries by advocating for an articulation with critical interculturality and decolonial perspectives. Through theoretical and empirical research about educational processes such as material design, human interaction, identity development, and different means of instruction, the volume makes a call for critical action and transformative reflexivity that impacts and challenges longstanding discourses in language teacher education. El libro Interculturality in Language Teacher Education: Theoretical and Practical Considerations contribuye a las discusiones actuales sobre la necesidad de avanzar hacia una orientación intercultural en la formación de profesores de idiomas, sin embargo, expande los límites disciplinarios y aboga por una articulación con la interculturalidad crítica y las perspectivas decoloniales. A través de la investigación teórica y empírica en procesos educativos tales como el diseño de materiales, la interacción humana, el desarrollo de la identidad, y los diferentes medios de instrucción, el volumen hace un llamado a la acción crítica y la reflexividad transformadora para que impacten y generen retos en los discursos tradicionales en la formación de profesores de lenguas.
