Cross-cultural Communication and Translation
3Cs-T
About the Research Team
The Cross-Cultural Communication and Translation (3Cs-T) research group under RLLD is devoted to the cross-cultural dimension of language teaching and learning. In a globalized world and with the rise of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as an International Language (EIL), it is imperative to bring insights from cross-cultural and comparative studies into the language classroom. The interdisciplinary nature of this area necessitates conducting sound research with clear pedagogical implications across a myriad of topics.
This type of interdisciplinary research will reveal the challenges of communicating in the age of globalization and what transformations they are likely to impose on foreign language pedagogies, namely, English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This research group will contribute to enriching the research literature in an area that is still underexplored in the Algerian context.
