Intercultural Learning in the Training of Teachers of German as a Foreign Language in Brazil

Abstract

A reflection on the goal of intercultural learning does not seem to be present in Brazilian publications, especially in the area of German as a Foreign Language. Although intercultural learning is the subject of many papers, contents and objectives seem still to be determined by courseware of German publishers, and this is reflected in the training of future teachers. The solution would be a consistent and systematic integration, since the beginning of the academic studies, of the specific content related to German as a Foreign Language in the undergraduate programs in German, through a real interdisciplinarity of the areas of Language and Literature and the Humanities.
