We refer, in a concrete way, on one hand, the objects of teaching and learning and, secondly, intercultural mediation that should guide the actions of the teacher. We present, finally, some activities coming from the classroom of Portuguese as Foreign and Second Language that show how these theoretical principles can be implemented. %K Portuguese Foreign Language/Second Language %K Culture %K Education %K Mediation (inter) cultural %U http://ler.letras.up.pt/uploads/ficheiros/10953.pdf
