Abstract
This study starts from the premise that having linguistic competences is not enough for students to communicate with people who are from different cultural spaces. This paper is a theoretical approach to the students’ problem who choose to learn in a foreign country, as is their cultural and linguistic integration. The emotional expression is one of the very good modalities to develop communication between people from different cultural spaces. This study, by proposing some learning strategies to develop the communication in a non-native language, especially from a social and cultural perspective, contributes to developing the positive students’ interaction and social collaboration to know and work with others from a different cultural space, and to appreciate others. By using them, the students are encouraged to correctly express their feelings and knowledge by adapting to the cultural particularities of the different countries.
Keywords: Education, competences, learning, cultural integration.
