Danish Cultural Identity and the Teaching of Danish to Foreigners
Hedwig Reuter
Universités Catholique de Louvain and Mons-Hainaut, Belgium

Danish as a second language textbooks published over the last 15 years have presented the Danish cultural identity as a homogenous and purely national phenomenon. Research into teaching theory, on the other hand, has been more broad-minded, and is based on interactivity. The aim of this paper is to explain this divergence.

Keywords: culture teaching, Danish, textbooks
