It seems to me comrades that we have done a good job since, as this, the
circumstances we could not go to an institution but we looked for the best way to
make the video, I see that we did a good interview and learned from the opinions of

and the strategies he uses as books of English literature are very interesting, and it is
important to highlight that Literature within the teaching of a second language has
undergone many changes throughout history and it is not very common to use it in
all educational classrooms, however, there are already several schools that have
classrooms and above all have promoted its use among teachers to demonstrate that

highlight the value of Byram's model (1997) which its importance lies in the
training of the teacher to be able to face the different cultural challenges following
the design of the curriculum of the educational institution, integrating the different
skills linked to the use of the language, without forgetting the knowledge.

Hello Hellen! I was checking your presentation out and I can tell your English is
very clear and natural. Then, when I got to the conclusions there was a part I did not
understand very well. It is when you said “language and culture must be well
asimulated”. Sorry, But I did not catch that. In the other side, you said the
relationship between language and culture is crucial in the classroom and I totally
agree with that. Language and culture must be stuck together so there is a real
understanding of every language structure. Finally, it is true what you say, human
because this last one would be the path to the target language.
P.S. Remember to add a recipient whenever you write a comment because it is not
Hello Vivian! It was a nice presentation you made, you show a great attitude which
gets the listener connected with your face expressions, but then, when it comes to
reading aloud so you can get the required fluency. In the other side, the scenes from
the PowToon where very accurate to the topic and I really enjoyed them.
Nevertheless, I could not understand any word from the spoken text. Maybe it was
the sound quality or your pronunciation but I was not able to connect with your
speech. Then, at the end when you showed some written text I could dig in a little
bit. Finally, about your conclusion, I think it is true when you say we humans are
always interacting one another. Since we are born we feel the necessity to
communicate, that is the reason we used to cry out whenever we wanted something
as little babies. Since that very moment the functions and forms of the language
Hello Martha! I was trying to watch your PowToon presentation but unfortunately,
it did not work. Are you sure this is the right link? On the other hand, I was
wondering about step 3. Have you been working on the video? I just want to tell
you that you still have time to complete step 2, step 3 and step 4 so let me know if I

According to teacher Stiven Reyes, he thinks that culture is as a far broader and
more encompassing concept, which includes basically all aspects of society, ranging from
its accumulated knowledge to the values it holds, as well as the habits and capabilities of its
members. The existence of culture for human society is possible due to the
development and use of a common language among the people, for example the cultural
intercultural communication.
The oral tradition is the whole of all testimony types verbally transmitted by a
people on their past. In Colombia, there are folkloric songs, the tale and the fable, and the

The teacher Javier Vanegas, determines that in Culture and Language there are
many definitions that closely relate them when teaching English, the main influence of
culture in the process of teaching the foreign language being the teacher who is in charge of
creating An identification of the culture with the language to his students, and speaking of
the cultural expressions, he comments that these are part of the identity of the culture and
gave as an example a cultural expression of Colombia to “Tomar el pelo” and tells us that
in Colombia there is between 15 and 16 languages with their own culture and that the
universities and academies of English as those in charge of teaching a language must teach
their culture and traditions in different ways. In addition, teacher Javier Vanegas reaffirms
that he always takes into account the culture to use the different strategies in teaching the

motivation and engagement of students as well as teachers, and our own preparedness for
The theories explained above open our teaching field in every aspect of the learning
process. Since the moment we are born, we start to fight throughout the forms and
functions of language. Here is where our willing to communicate start to grow inside and
we begin to develop different competencies that are part of every society. On one hand,
Sociocultural theory also suggests that human learning is largely a social process. (Cherry
2019, p. 1). This theory talks about the impact that society makes to individual
development.
On the other hand, we have Social Identity, we humans are group members that are
always fighting against the outsiders of the group. According to Tajfel (1979), “The central
hypothesis of social identity theory is that group members of an in-group will seek to find
