Resumen

into the only option. 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. This chapter presents a panoramic view of the situation of MA studies in Bilingual Education in Spain and, focusing on one of them, tries to describe needs that need to be met and the actions that can be taken to foster intercultural awareness in the new generations of teachers.
