Resum
We start from a conceptual framework delimited by the relations among culture, language and learning in order to establish connections between the negotiation of meaning and interculturality. We describe an experience in the English classroom involved in an intercultural research project and altemet to inquire into the development of pupils' and teachers' attitudes, as well as critical reflections about textbooks. We conclude that the concept «negotiation of meaning» is in close connection with interculturality, understood as a value that should replace the concept of «tolerance», in the theory as well as in the practice of the TEFL process.
