Text in Spanish. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of the cultural content of narrative texts with different perspectives on the process of lecture comprehension in a foreign language. More specifically, this project had three central objectives: to explore the influence of the outside perspective, "from the outside" or "outsider" (that is, with a narrator that is not from the represented culture) apart from the self-generating "from the inside" or "insider" (that is, with a narrator that is part of the represented culture) in the capture of the content of the narrative texts in L2; to describe the distinct cultural approach for each of the distinct perspectives; and to describe in detail the threshold of their own cultural awareness and of others during the lecture in L2 in various cases.
