RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 3D in history of the English language: Learning a L2 through history, context and cross-cultural experiences A1 Sáez Hidalgo, Ana A1 Filardo Llamas, Laura K1 Educación intercultural K1 Inglés (Lengua) - Historia K1 Inglés (Lengua) - Estudio y enseñanza K1 5701.11 Enseñanza de Lenguas AB Given the four elements involved in having a communicative competence, it could be argued that learning a L2 does not only involve overcoming linguistic differences, but also cultural ones. Following a double conceptualization of “culture”, we will show our experience as teachers of History of the English Language (HEL), and the potential usefulness of the diachronic axis in developing the critical intercultural awareness needed to master a foreign language. This wider cultural approach results in a more accurate linguistic intuition in the L2, which is a consequence of the critical intercultural spirit developed by the students.
