Resumen

Bilingual Education programs, thus, have spread their roots from Preschool to Tertiary Education stages, to train citizens to speak more than one language and be able to live and work anywhere in the world. However, intercultural communication and the awareness and skills necessary to develop it successfully have not always been paid such a close attention.
