*Contextos culturales en el aula de inglés

Abstract

Learning a foreign language is also learning how to discover and to value other cultures in relation to one's own. Educational policies in Colombia promote meaningful learning experiences starting from the curriculum design inside the Institutional Educational Pro­ject-IEP. This article presents the results of a project aimed at integrating the curriculum and English learning with the student's cultural context.
