Abstract: 
This paper focuses, at first, on models of multicultural education. More specifically, intercultural education is the most appropriate model as it is based on mutual recognition and respect among different cultures. In this context, many students are pushed to learn a new language besides their mother language. It is important to distinguish the mother language (L1) from second (L2) and foreign (FL) language and to find the factors that influence their acquisition or learning. In such way teachers will be prepared to deal effectively in the classrooms with non-native speaker students and to organize the learning process in order to help them to face any difficulty.
