Global, linguistic and cultural awareness in preservice teachers through the KOSKO project

Abstract

This article presents an exchange project between future teachers from Paraguay and Puerto Rico called “Recursos didácticos para la enseñanza lingüística” (Didactic resources for language teaching) and how it helped create globally engaged teachers. Although the main objective was to exchange and create digital books, the project helped develop an appreciation for cultural and linguistic diversity. The participants also recognized that they learned about their language and teaching resources to teach it, as well about the importance of education globally.
