Resumen
En un escenario cada vez más multicultural se precisa enseñar lengua y cultura de forma integrada. La lengua es el vehículo de expresión de una cultura diferente a la propia y la tarea del profesor es facilitar la comunicación intercultural desde la comprensión de los propios valores culturales de los alumnos para que comprendan la alteridad que les rodea en su entorno inmediato. La enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera supone, por tanto, no solo el desarrollo de las habilidades lingüísticas, sino también el conocimiento intercultural del profesional para su inserción en el mercado laboral. Sin embargo, la cuestión de la integración de los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos respecto a la capacitación intercultural constituye tema de preocupación en el diseño de estos cursos en aras de mejorar la empleabilidad de los graduados. Específicamente, los estudiantes de Lengua Inglesa con segunda lengua extranjera: francés en la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas enfrentan dificultades durante el período de práctica laboral en el sector turístico relacionadas con el conocimiento cultural sobre los países, principales emisores turísticos. Ellos generalmente actúan como guías turísticos, y en su práctica el conocimiento del inglés y el francés conviven intrínsecamente con el elemento intercultural. Este trabajo expone una investigación cuyo objetivo es contribuir al desarrollo de la competencia intercultural a través del perfeccionamiento del currículo hacia un enfoque más intercultural.
In an increasingly multicultural scenario, it is necessary to teach language and culture in an integrated manner. Language is the vehicle of expression of a culture and the teacher's task is to facilitate intercultural communication from the understanding of students' own cultural values so that they understand the otherness that surrounds them in their immediate environment. The teaching of English as a foreign language means, therefore, involves not only the development of linguistic skills, but also the intercultural knowledge of the professional for their insertion in the labor market. However, the question of the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding intercultural training is a matter of concern in the design of these courses in order to improve the employability of graduates. Specifically, students of English with a second foreign language: French, at the Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas face difficulties during the internship period in the tourism sector related to cultural knowledge about the countries, main tourist issuers. They generally act as tour guides, and in their practice, the knowledge of English and French coexist intrinsically with the intercultural element. This work exposes a research, whose objective is to contribute to the development of intercultural competence through the improvement of the curriculum towards a more intercultural approach.
