Today, intercultural communication competence is essential in the classroomfor teaching English as a Foreign Language, as we live in an increasingly pluralistic andglobalized world. In the words of Beacco et al. (2016) the “plurilingual and interculturalcompetence is the ability to use a plural repertoire of linguistic and culturalresources to meet communication needs or interact with other people and enrich thatrepertoire while doing so.” (p. 23). Studying a foreign language without this competencewould be meaningless, as language and culture would not exist without each other. In thisMaster’s Final Project, the aim is to bring students closer to this competence through TheSimpsons, as it is a youthful television phenomenon that has been appearing on our hometelevisions for over 30 years. To this end, the teaching unit will be designed under theguidelines of the task-based approach and the Total Physical Response (TPR) method,whose main objectives will be cooperative work based on the completion of various tasksthat will also seek the motivation and interest in learning of the students. In other words,the aim is to use authentic material with the support of the Information andCommunication Technologies (ICT) and gamification to promote the motivation of pupilsin the process of teaching-learning the foreign language.
