## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buyyy!
*by K***S on July 10, 2018*

Came in Great shape. Needed it for my language and culture course. Wasn’t boring, either.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introductory text
*by T***S on October 26, 2004*

A volume of the Oxford Introduction to Language Study series, Kramsch has written a delightful little book. There are seven chapters covering current issues in the field followed by readings, references, and a glossary.Besides its brevity and well designed layout this book also excels at clarity. Many authors try to say the same thing but in far too many words. Kramsch has managed to write a book that is an asset to the series.There is nothing new or startling in the contents of the book. Nor, given its short length, is everything from the field included. However, she has done a fine job of selecting the pertinent information that is "must know" in this field.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read her previous one first
*by N***O on July 31, 2001*

This intro. to culture is an excellent distillation of language and culture, suited especially for anyone who has read her previous book published by Oxford Univ. Press CONTEXT AND CULTURE. Context and Culture (C&C)has many illuminating examples from literature, speech and and media. Kramsch writes densely--every word counts--and readers will find that there is always something new to learn on every reading. It's no surprise that Widdowson, remarkable for his incredibly tight prose, was her editor. Kramsch is a razor-sharp thinker and an accomplished writer. An intellectual of the best sort.So, to best appreciate this short intro. to culture, read C&C first.To the frustrated engineering-student-teacher assistant, irritated that such simple ideas as "culture", "communication" and "understanding" are made less simple by Kramsch: Perhaps these concepts are not so simple after all.
