How do some students of Foreign Languages teaching program perceive the cultural formation?

Abstract

In this paper, the results of a qualitative research realized to analyze the concepts of cultural formation of students from the Foreign Languages Teaching program at Universidad of Antioquia are presented. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 21 students from 4^th, 5^th and 6^th semesters in 2010. The analysis of the answers permitted the conclusion that for students cultural formation is dialectically articulated to integral formation, benefiting the students’ personality, particularly in cognitive function, attitudinal aspects, and values. Student answers also offer the didactic possibilities for cultural formation from content, activities and support materials.
