      1. recreate true actions of changes that motivate the re significance of knowledge
        in terms of
        what is learned is linked to the context in which we have learned, i.e., classroom and all teaching learning process initiated in it, have to start by the exchange of experiences or experimental semantics of the child for a significant assimilation of the contents and the different disciplines that interact there.
        The school has to become a space of interaction rather than imposition
        exchange not juxtaposition, debate rather than rhetoric
        so the child can generate strategies that allow them to use and create new concepts that prevail to reinterpret their reality and have a more complete concept of what he had conceived from their experience
        for this reconstruction of the thought process is required starting from the experimental culture of the child and create a space for knowledge
Languages plays a crucial role in our human projects, allowing us to understand the world that is around us
children use languages as a source of evidence. When children start to understand syntax and a morphology, and begins to appreciate the propositional structure of language, language might play another and strong role in their theory formation.

Verification of perceptions (target/native culture) 7. Cultural awareness 8. Evaluation of language and cultural proficiency
    7. 1. students take part in guided discussions, role-plays, solving intercultural incidents, doing exercises on critical thinking, presentations of projects
        These techniques enable the students to:
        understand the concept of intercultural awareness
        recognize the origins of their own cultural values, assumptions and attitudes and the way in which their values affect their perception of others
        observe, monitor and report on their own cultural learning
        develop attitudes and strategies which will help adapt to life in a foreign country and operate autonomously in that country
        explore how their perception of their own character, attitudes and behavior might influence their cultural learning
