Resumen:

Learning a language must result in becoming competent in a new culture becauseaccessing the culture language stands for and being able to share its cultural contentrequires learning not just the meaning but also the historical and social backgroundof its vocabulary. Words reveal the linguistic and social behavior of native speakersand give students a full understanding of the target language. This chapter dealswith different concerns present in foreign language classrooms, a space where languageand intercultural competence must be developed. It describes some linguisticcompetence-related concerns (Section 1), then it deals with specific interculturalrelated aspects of grammar and perception which are part of the linguistic competenceto be developed in class (Section 2) and it finishes with a general descriptionof three basic ways used in the Spanish-as-second-language (SSL) classroom inorder to teach language and culture so as to help students to develop interculturalcompetence (Section 3). © 2017 by IGI Global.
