Abstract
This book is a valuable effort to deal with a grand challenge facing our world, namely that our cultures become more and more heterogeneous, in particular through increasing worldwide immigration. This growing diversity has a deep impact on our society in general. Of course, this also influences our education system, and shapes new general conditions for teaching and learning in classrooms, at schools, and at teacher education institutions. Having students with different backgrounds in language, ethnicity, religion, parents’ social status, etc., has to be taken into consideration seriously.
