Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the theoretical considerations on the close relationship between the concepts of identity, language attitudes and motivation of the speakers who are in contact with two or more languages and who use them in various contexts. These concepts will help us better understand the intercultural education, a phenomenon to which we are exposed in the globalized world we live in. The mixing of linguistic codes and the switching of languages make us reflect on the importance of preserving one’s own mother tongue and culture within contexts of language displacement, and reaffirm our conviction that it is necessary to fight for intercultural education, for “the excellence that nests in humans” (Benedetti, 2000), which gives us diversity.
