| Sumario: | School exchanges still garner attention despite the fact that globalization and digitalization have made it possible to learn about the culture of other countries without leaving home. This is due to the numerous benefits they offer, such as the improvement in the target language proficiency or the development of greater autonomy and cultural awareness. This Master’s Thesis presents an inclusive and accessible didactic proposal for the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom that serves as an alternative to a traditional exchange between Spanish students from Castilla y León and Canadian students from the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. For this purpose, eight didactic sessions have been developed with activities targeted to the Spanish students with the aim of developing their intercultural communicative competence and providing all learners with the benefits offered by exchange programs. |
