Abstract

This paper will discuss the problematic relationship between culture and language from the perspective of the second language learning/teaching process. This is not a new problem for the pedagogy of languages and there remainsa traditional set of as yet unsolved epistemological questionsto be answered. Although many of these problemsand questionswill be part of the reflections involved in this article, its main objective is to reconsider them from the perspective of new teaching philosophies and methods and the inclusion of modern computerized technology into the old already-troubled formula.
