description Interculturality and globalization have taken a very important role in society today. This is one of the reasons why the Department of Languages and Cultures at the University of La Sabana has offered the courses Introduction to Intercultural Studies and Intercultural Studies for their language learners. These courses offer participants the opportunity to become more familiar with intercultural competences by, for example, interacting with a variety of international guest speakers. However, up to the present, these courses have been taught as content courses in the English language and directed specifically to learners who already have relatively high competence levels in English. This paper explores the characteristics of the noted intercultural studies courses in comparison with more “traditional” English courses, as well as student expectations of and experiences with the intercultural studies content courses, in order to see how a more CLIL-based approach could be implemented in the context of the intercultural studies courses. Such a re-design would not only continue to benefit such advanced students but would open up new possibilities for learners with a wider range of language abilities, helping them build up their English through work with content related to intercultural competences. Equally, it would provide such language learners with a clearer purpose for learning the English language, as English would no longer be being taught in an isolated way but within a content-focused context that the participants see as relevant and practical.

Esta es una de las razones por las que el Departamento de Lenguas y Culturas de la Universidad de La Sabana ha ofrecido los cursos Introduction to Intercultural Studies y Intercultural Studies para los estudiantes de idiomas. Estos cursos ofrecen a los participantes la oportunidad de familiarizarse más con las competencias interculturales, por ejemplo, interactuar con una variedad de invitados internacionales. Sin embargo, hasta la actualidad, estos cursos se les ha enseñado como cursos de contenido en el idioma inglés y se ha dirigido específicamente a los alumnos que ya tienen niveles relativamente altos de competencia en inglés. Este artículo explora las características de los señalados cursosde estudios interculturales en comparación con los cursos de inglés más "tradicionales", así como las expectativas y las experiencias de los estudiantes con los cursos de contenido de estudios interculturales, con el fin de ver cómo un enfoque más basado en AICLE podría ser implementado en el contexto de los cursos de estudios interculturales. Este nuevo diseño no sólo continuar beneficiándose dichos estudiantes avanzados, sino que abren nuevas posibilidades para los estudiantes con una gama de habilidades lingüísticasmás amplia, ayudándoles a construir su inglés a través del trabajo con el contenido relacionado con las competencias interculturales. Del mismo modo, se proporcionan a tales estudiantes de idiomas con un propósito claro para el aprendizaje del idioma inglés, así que inglés ya no se les enseña de una manera aislada, sino dentro de un contexto centrado en el contenido que verán los participantes como relevantes y prácticos.2015-02-02T09:29:19Z2015-02-02T09:29:19Z2012-04-30articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://laclil.unisabana.edu.co/index.php/LACLIL/article/view/2657http://laclil.unisabana.edu.co/index.php/LACLIL/article/view/2657/2795http://hdl.handle.net/10818/13710http://intellectum.unisabana.edu.co/Universidad de La SabanaRepositorio Institucional de la Universidad de La Sabanareponame:Repositorio Universidad de la Sabanainstname:Universidad de la Sabanainstacron:Universidad de la SabanaengLatin American Journal of Content & Language Integrated Learning; Vol 5, No 1 (2012); 33-45Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms: Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.
