Reconhecer-se como brasileiro ao conhecer a heterogeneidade linguístico-cultural hispano-americana

Abstract

This article aims at discussing the conceptions related to Intercultural Education which are applied to the learning-teaching process of Spanish as a Foreign Language (S/FL) in the Brazilian secondary school. The theoretical and methodological bases of the document Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio- Espanhol (MEC, 2006) are also considered. Some suggestions concerning themes that can be studied in the classroom of S/FL are presented too, and this sort of work intends to foster knowledge about the Hispanic-American linguistic and cultural heterogeneity with the aim of leading the learners to recognize themselves as Brazilian citizens.
