Cultural Linguistic Mediation at the Stage of Primary Education

Abstract

Currently in our schools still exist differences among students despite the efforts of states and institutions to diminish them through educational, cultural, linguistic programs, etc. There is a continuous marginalization that strikes some sectors of the population (immigrants, the disabled, the elderly ...) In our case, in the daily work of education and health professionals we find the urgency to find practices within the school that leads to improve the coexistence and make the "encounter" the center of their own work. The aim of this paper is to present the work of linguistic-cultural mediation from educational and social services for a group of immigrants elementary students and their families to achieve full integration into the school.
