It is the duty of the school, as a scientific, human and social training tool to make students awere of language formation, as the way of speaking often has an intrinsic relationshio with the culture of each region. Furthermore, the teacher must be aware of showing students that although there is a cultures language, there are other lingistic manifestations that are formed within the culture and customs of each one.
