Intercultural language learning and teaching is generally endorsed in contemporary foreign and second language classroom contexts. This article reports the use of an intercultural education activity taught in an Italian L2 elementary course at the Language Centre of the University of Bologna attended by exchange and degree-seeking students. The intercultural tasks proposed invite students to reflect on their experiences of studying and living in a different country, and encourage them to reflect on their intercultural learning objectives and on their goals for study abroad in relation to their intercultural encounters. Our aim was to explore students’ willingness to engage with the intercultural tasks, their commitment and the possible influence on their behaviours, attitudes and beliefs, considering their relatively limited level of target language proficiency. The data, collected through audio-recorded interviews, show individual differences among the students. Our report concludes with our reflections as practitioners working in a university language centre, on the importance of intercultural language teaching and learning.

在大学语言课程中培养人际交往和跨文化技能

跨文化语言学习和教学在当代外语和第二语言课堂环境中得到普遍认可。本文报告了在博洛尼亚大学语言中心的意大利语 L2 小学课程中教授的跨文化教育活动的使用,该活动由交换生和攻读学位的学生参加。提议的跨文化任务邀请学生反思他们在不同国家学习和生活的经历,并鼓励他们反思他们的跨文化学习目标以及与跨文化接触相关的出国留学目标。我们的目标是探索学生参与跨文化任务的意愿、他们的承诺以及对他们的行为、态度和信仰的可能影响,考虑到他们的目标语言水平相对有限。通过录音采访收集的数据显示了学生之间的个体差异。我们的报告以我们作为在大学语言中心工作的从业者对跨文化语言教学和学习的重要性的反思结束。
