Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) | Conference: | X Jornadas Iberoamericanas de Innovación Educativa en el Ámbito de las TIC y las TAC (InnoEducaTIC 2023) | Abstract: | This paper outlines the importance of developing English as a Foreign Language students’ cultural awareness. It argues that cultural competence is central for the success of all types of foreign language learners in any communicative situation. Thus, in addition to developing students’ linguistic skills, teachers need to help them become aware of intercultural differences. After justifying the crucial role of this component through a short literature review, I will provide some practical strategies for raising English as a Foreign Language students’ cultural awareness in the classroom, based also on my own teaching experience at the faculties of Philology and Translation and Interpreting. I will give special attention to its relevance in the cases of both types of students, future general English as a Foreign Language teachers and would-be translators. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/128309 | ISBN: | 978-84-09-51520-2 | Source: | Libro de Actas de las X Jornadas Iberoamericanas de Innovación Educativa en el ámbito de las TIC y las TAC, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 16 y 17 de noviembre de 2023, p. 221-228, (Noviembre 2023) |
