Dialogues mediated by technologies, by intercultural knowledge and by communicative competence

This article is part of a work developed with the Group of Research and Studies in Educational Technology and Distance Education (GETED), from the Dom Bosco Catholic University (UCDB, Mato Grosso do Sul), which since 2006 studies the question of continued formation face to face and virtually, the language, the inter-relations and the information and communication tools. It has the objective of discuss the importance of dialogues mediated by technologies, by intercultural knowledge and by communicative competence. The contexto of the research occurred among Brazilian teachers and Canadian university students in a partnership of international internship between (UCDB) Brazil and (UOM) Canada by face to face and virtual meetings. As theoretical support we used Freire (1993), Canale and Swain (1980), Candau (2003), Fleuri (2000/2001). We understand that the parternship showed the necessity of a dialogue which overpsassed the linguistic and textual competences at the mediation of the intercultural implicits and the necessary knowledge.
