| Sumario: | The project studied the promotion of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in a group of pre-service teachers in the North American Culture course. It was conducted through a qualitative case study research design, involving six pre-service teachers at a University in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The data collection instruments used for this study included observations, interviews, an analysis of the North American Culture Course Syllabus and an analysis of the excerpts taken from the different activities implemented to promote ICC. The analysis of the North American Culture syllabus revealed that it adhered to a monolithic view of culture and reinforced the idea of American triumphalism. The analysis of the excerpts not only demonstrated that the pre-service teachers had developed traces of ICC at different levels, but also that, in some instances, they had changed how they perceived the U.S. Americans, gaining a better understanding of certain historical events that had an impact on the U.S. as a nation. The conclusions drawn from this study, the implications for teaching and learning and the limitations of the study are detailed as well. |
