TEACHER EDUCATION, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE: THE INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE FOR TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN UNDERGRADUATE LANGUAGE COURSES
Keywords:
teacher education, English, intercultural education.Abstract
This article presents discussions on the importance of promoting the development of Intercultural Communicative Competence (BYRAN, 1997; CORBETT, 2003; FIGUEREDO, 2007) in Letras course in Brazil, to foster the education of language teachers who are critical and reflective, also in regards to the relation between language and culture. We seek to theoretically reflect on the concept of Intercultural Competence (DEARDOFF, 2009) in connection with the language setting as a social practice, re-signified historically through social interaction (VYGOTSKY, 1996), which draws a favorable scenario for critical teaching of foreign languages (PESSOA and FREITAS, 2012).Downloads
