Resumen

Como la competencia cultural es inherente a la adquisición de la lengua, debería jugar un papel central en los cursos de lengua de herencia, de modo que los aprendientes puedan establecer conexiones con su propia cultura y ser conscientes de la diversidad del mundo hispanohablante. Este artículo ofrece una visión panorámica de la instrucción y evaluación de la cultura para promover el pensamiento crítico y la reflexión, a fin de reducir los estereotipos y validar la herencia cultural de los aprendientes de lengua de herencia. Asimismo, se analiza el papel actual de los estudios en el extranjero y del aprendizaje-servicio para enseñar cultura en la clase de español como lengua de herencia.
