Therefore, this dissertation aims at exploring the role of English in EFL contexts in a Catalan secondary school, and whether implementing an activity addressing the role of English as an IL affects students' acquisition and perception of the language, as well as investigating in which ways this may affect learners' imagined identities and their contribution in EFL contexts.

The findings suggest that promoting EIL in classroom impacts students' perception and degree of legitimacy as regards to the use of English.L'ensenyament de l'anglès com a llengua estrangera i la recerca s'han centrat, tradicionalment, en el model parlant nadiu. Recentment, però, aquest rol en l'ensenyament de llengües s'ha qüestionat, ja que l'anglès ha pres el paper de llengua internacional (EIL) que s'utilitza per comunicar-se i interactuar tant amb gent nativa com no nativa d'aquesta llengua. Consegüentment, aquest treball té com a objectiu explorar el rol de l'anglès en contextos EFL en un institut català, i veure si el fet d'implementar una activitat que promou l'anglès com a llengua internacional afecta els estudiants a l'hora d'adquirir i percebre la llengua i, així doncs, investigar de quines maneres pot afectar les identitats imaginades de l'alumnat i la seva contribució a les classes. L'estudi comença amb una presentació de la globalització i del paper de l'anglès com a llengua internacional, la qual estructura el marc teòric; i finalitza amb una anàlisi mixta basada en les implicacions que té el fet de promoure l'anglès com a llengua internacional en l'ensenyament de L2. Els resultats demostren que promoure EIL a la classe influeix en la percepció i el grau de legitimitat de l'alumnat en relació amb l'ús de l'anglès.Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
