Abstract	The chapter reports on a doctoral study exploring the complexity behind the separation of language and content within modern language degree programmes, placing particular focus on implications for students' development of criticality (Barnett, 1997) and intercultural competence (Byram, 1997). The study investigated implications of the division as experienced by German studies staff and students in two American and two British universities. The findings suggest that students who are prompted to critically reflect upon both the target language and the target culture have greater opportunities to develop into 'good' interculturalists in line with the view that students require an 'intercultural education' in order to maximise the benefits (Holmes, Bavieri, & Ganassin, 2015).
