The main objective of this study was to identify the methodological strategies implemented to develop cultural intelligence at the Southern Federal University´s Hispanic-Russian Center in Rostov on Don, Russian Federation. This was a cross-sectional exploratory study following a qualitative approach with observations and questionnaires with teachers and students during September and October 2016. Five methodological strategies were identified: communicative approach, motivation, student´s autonomy, collaborative learning and contextualized collective construction. These strategies contribute to the development of cultural intelligence as well as the social construction of an institutional culture favorable to intercultural communication, and they can serve as a reference for the design of methodological strategies, to promote international culture at Latin American universities.
