Resumen
La adquisición de la cultura, denominada también como la quinta habilidad, con frecuencia genera, en el contexto de enseñanza y aprendizaje de L2, una serie de conflictos ideológicos y didácticos dentro y fuera del aula. El presente estudio1 pretende, por medio de un análisis práctico de la llamada Teoría del Iceberg, dar respuesta al origen de esas ideologías encontradas. Dicha teoría, propuesta por Sigmund Freud, dicta que la mente del ser humano se asemeja a un iceberg cuya sección sobresaliente representa el conocimiento consciente del individuo: las percepciones, los pensamientos y los recuerdos presentes en todo momento. Por otro lado, la sección sumergida, -la gran masa del iceberg-, contiene el denominado conocimiento inconsciente: las emociones, recuerdos olvidados y demás cognición no controlada. Sin embargo, esta división en apariencia bipartita, incluye otras secciones de la mente también sumergidas, la cuales incluyen los procesos psicológicos y de análisis de la realidad del entorno y que sí son posibles de controlar en diferentes niveles por estar justo por debajo del nivel consciente. En este estudio se insta a ejercitar un proceso de concientización sistemático de esa cognición sumergida pero controlable a la vez; con el fin de entrenar al aprendiente de L2 a tener un control más objetivo y analítico de la realidad de su propio entorno y el de la cultura meta.
The acquisition of culture, also known as the fifth skill, often generates, in the context of teaching and learning of L2, a series of ideological and didactic conflicts inside and outside the classroom. The present study1 tries, by means of a practical analysis of the so-called Iceberg Theory, to give an answer to the origin of these found ideologies. This theory, proposed by Sigmund Freud, dictates that the human mind resembles an iceberg whose protruding section represents the individual's conscious knowledge: the perceptions, thoughts and memories present at all times. On the other hand, the submerged section, -the great mass of the iceberg-, contains the so-called unconscious knowledge: emotions, forgotten memories and other uncontrolled cognition. However, this apparently bipartite division includes other sections of the mind that are also submerged, which include psychological processes and analysis of the reality of the environment and that are possible to control at different levels because they are just below the conscious level. . This study urges to exercise a process of systematic awareness of this submerged but controllable cognition at the same time; in order to train the L2 learner to have a more objective and analytical control of the reality of their own environment and that of the target culture.
