DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BEING A BILINGUAL PERSON AND BEING A BICULTURAL PERSON

Proficiency in the English language is a highly demanded characteristic in the search for professional employees, which has led to an exponential increase in the number of schools and institutes teaching English and most private schools offer bilingual education and even what it has been called "bicultural". 

This is only a superficial definition of Bicultural which differs from the concept of Bilingual, the concept Bicultural is referred to the coexistence or the union of two cultures that belongs to the same person. The idea of culture, meanwhile, refers to the set of knowledge, traditions and habits of a certain community, nation or country.

An example of Biculturalism are the kind of students which have two cultures that are part of them, this happens when a Japanese woman got married to a Spanish man, and they have a child, that child will learn about both cultures and languages. In this context, we can affirm that a Bilingual person can be also a Bicultural person for the traditions and languages learned from his or her parents.

The Bicultural Interdisciplinary has requirements similar to bicultural, but with a difference in learning with projects and experience.
