The Use of Textual Genres in Foreign Language Teaching: For a Cross-Cultural and Interdisciplinary Approach

Abstract

The focus of this research is to present relevant considerations to the teaching of an additional language from its cross-cultural (ALVAREZ, 2003;ALTMAYER, 2004) and interdisciplinary construction. In this sense, the normative aspects and use of the cultured norm of the additional language, under study, becomes a consequence of the native speaker's understanding of the world of that language. The historical aspects that culminate cultural elements of that country are the starting point of the language. Through a brief analysis of teaching practices applied in the teaching of foreign languages, we intend to present the discursive, historical and cultural aspects in which, through an interdisciplinary approach, we seek to acclimate the learner to this new plurilingual context (OESSELMANN, GARCIA, 2010) and, from then on, work on understanding the language codes of that country.
