LIMA, Lucielena Mendonça de. To recognize ourselves while recognizing linguistic and cultural heterogeneity in hispanic america. Trab. linguist. apl. [online]. 2011, vol.50, n.1, pp. 45-53. ISSN 0103-1813.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-18132011000100003.

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.
