Significado de una educación multicultural en la sociedad de hoy

Abstract

This lecture was presented in the colloquium “Plurality of Languages-Cultures”, a two day discussion panel dedicated to talk about the importance of teaching and learning different languages and their cultural implications. The study of existing languages —and also of those that aren’t anymore— allows us to enter the path
of otherness and diversity, and even enrich our worldview because the linguistic configuration of a language is the reflection of a population’s viewpoint and cultural context. It’s time to celebrate plurality and to understand that the cultural interest in language diversity is, in the end, what extends their existence.
