Abstract
"This research displays a concern about the integration of culture into language education, especially in a context wherein students are educated as they are pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in English Language Teaching. Such interest has been led by the concept of interculturality, a notion and process that has been uprising as a result of the spread of cross-cultural communication and that therefore, has influenced language education. When interculturality is placed in an educational context, it translates into intercultural competence, which, in this research, can be understood through the concepts of language, culture, and the relationship between these two notions. In the first place, what authors have stated as well as the alternatives they have given regarding the approach to culture within language education bearing in mind an intercultural stance are documented. Secondly, the conceptions that a group of language teachers from Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) hold with respect to the teaching of culture in language education are surveyed. Last of all, this work grants an analysis that integrates the theory grounding the relevance of the cultural component within language teaching and the language teachers’ conceptualizations of notions such as language, culture and how they are related".
