| Summary: | In recent times, globalization has led to ever-shrinking boundaries between cultures. This phenomenon has had repercussions in the professional world, where financial, business and trade barriers have been disappearing in favour of a unified and diverse international market. As a result, companies are looking to recruit young talent not only with English proficiency, but also with the ability to function in cross-cultural work environments. This is where education plays a fundamental role, as there is a growing need to train students to develop intercultural communicative competence (ICC) in advanced stages of vocational education, as part of the English subject of their respective module. In response to this need arises this thesis, which incorporates a didactic proposal, whose methodology based on digital resources and communicative approaches tries to make students aware of the importance of ICC, developing it in class in a transversal way. |
