要約:Opportunities for intercultural learning through contact with “foreignness” are fundamental for the cultural, social, and economic well-being of multicultural countries. The Mexican context is of particular interest, both due to its extraordinary socio-cultural diversity and its epidemic levels of intercultural illiteracy. Based on an survey conducted with 189 students of the Teacher Training College of Mexico City (Escuela Normal Superior de México), this study explores (i) the perceived importance of contact with “foreignness” as part of teacher training, (ii) existing interest in participating in an international exchange program, and (iii) the level of actual experiences with “foreignness”. A series of descriptive statistics – which show the perceptions, interests, and experiences of future junior high school teachers – demonstrates the importance of greater institutional and governmental engagement toward intercultural training in teacher colleges.
