Deskribapena:This paper revisits the concept of Diatopic Hermeneutics conceived by De Sousa-Santos. It is an attempt to translate knowledge among diverse cultural systems, in order to promote dialogue among them. This hermeneutic approach is relevant to the teaching of culture in both higher education courses and in those addressed to international students. Therefore, a pedagogical experience, where that exercise was successfully applied is presented.  The experience consists of critical analysis of a textbook unit. As a result, the class got to relevant conclusions in forming a humanistic ethos in the process of learning a foreign language. The aim is to contribute with the academic community promoting a holistic approach to Applied Linguistics.
