Summary/Abstract: Establishing the connection between language and culture during the language teaching process is a main goal of intercultural learning. An important question is how a language teacher can raise awareness for foreign cultural situations. One method to achieve this awareness is to train the perception of the learners. Because perception is subjective, it is difficult to make learners aware of their own way of perceiving the world. Getting past this obstacle is the main focus of this article. The stages of perception are separated so as for the perception process to be reconstructed.
