Abstract

Nowadays, the teaching/learning process of a foreign language represent a meaningful challenge for the professor and the student within the globalized society on which we develop. On top of the linguistic elements that make up the language, it is essential to consider the cultural contents of it to get to the meaning of the emitted messages and facilitate a good communication. In this article, we will define the concepts of culture and interculturality and we will address the needed conditions so the teaching/learning process is ideal and does not limit the students for not developing their intercultural competence sufficiently.
