What is Pluralistic Approaches to Languages and Cultures

Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education
Four didactic approaches that use more than one language or culture in their activities. These approaches are awakening to languages, inter-comprehension between related languages, the intercultural approach, and the integrated didactic approach to different languages studied. These approaches allow the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes in pupils, and can employ transdisciplinarity, and thus interaction and interrelationships between subjects.

Abstract
This chapter presents some of the results derived from the data analysis of a thesis which dealt with the conception, implementation, and evaluation of a blended learning training course in plurilingualism and pluriculturalism. More precisely, this blended learning training course was addressed at teachers working in Greek primary schools in the city of Thessaloniki. This chapter focuses on the last phase of this project, which is to say the evaluation phase in which the researcher interviewed participating teachers. The analysis of the interviews sheds light on the teachers' perceptions of blended learning as a training mode. The results present the difficulties the teachers encountered with distance training, as well as their views on the possible implementation of distance learning with their students. They also highlight the teachers' perceptions of online interaction on a forum with other participants, and of good blended learning.
