"Didactic Considerations When Working with Languaculture in a Modern Language Classroom. The article investigates how educators in higher education can work with languaculture in a modern language classroom by using critical languacultural awareness, critical discourse analysis and translatology instruments. The article begins with a brief summary of how the term languaculture has developed over the years, how it has been adapted to a didactic setting by other scholars and how translation tools can resolve issues regarding equivalents and lacunas when working with texts between different languages. Thereafter, the article provides two examples of how one can work with typical Swedish cultural-specific expressions such as miljonprogrammet and snilleindustrin. Keywords: Critical languacultural awareness, critical discourse analysis, equivalence, languaculture, languarealia."
