This paper presents the process of the research entitled "Spanish as a Foreign Language SFL Teaching through Colombian Festivals Language", which sought to promote its learning, from the perspective of strengthening of interculturality.. It was circumscribed in the interpretive paradigm with a qualitative approach based on culture as inherent content of the process. It is a study with the help of a pilot test that involved the design of teaching units for C Level of CEFR that would stimulate it in other languages learners. It was sought to activate communicative and intercultural competence, so that non-native speakers of Spanish had access to the meanings that speakers from different Colombian regions give them. For which a theoretical framework on the relationship between language and culture was needed. As a result, this research has not only a pedagogical-didactic value, but also a sociocultural one, since it confirms that learning a language is inhabiting the culture that speaks it. It is concluded that SFL teaching through ordinary language is a viable and a productive strategy because it implies a genuine immersion.

Keywords : SFL; interculturality; ordinary language; culture; popular culture; festivals.
