A Pedagogical Proposal to Enhance the Intercultural Competence through Authentic Literary Texts in the EFL Classroom

Abstract

[eng] This dissertation aims to help develop Intercultural Competence through a series of pedagogical proposals using fragments from literary works of authors from Anglophone countries for EFL students in secondary centres in the Balearic Islands. The activities will be based on the principles of different theoretical perspectives of IC and literature in the EFL classroom. The choice of texts for the activities will help students discuss themes such as immigration, prejudice and discrimination, all social issues that we face in an ever growing globalized world.
