In Colombia there are more than sixty indigenous languages; which work as the source for the research “Transversalidad de la competencia intercultural en metodologias para el aprendizaje de la lengua materna y del espanol como segunda lengua” made by Lengua y Cultura Research Group to determine the importance and some characteristics of a Spanish course as a second language. This course is addressed for Colombian indigenous teachers with a sociolinguistic and socio-cultural point of view of learning and teaching second languages in student centered and opened curriculum.
