AB Literature tends to be ignored in the English as a Foreign Language classroom; however, its benefits for students are numerous not only for improving their linguistic competence in the English language but also for their intercultural, personal, and social enrichment. Consequently, this dissertation presents a didactic proposal for Secondary education to promote reading among students in the EFL context through the short stories “The Third and Final Continent” and “The Ottawa Valley” by the female authors Jhumpa Lahiri and Alice Munro, respectively. The main aim is to motivate learners towards reading, presenting them with experiences, problems and concerns which they may identify with their own, making them reflect on their own experiences. This didactic proposal also makes students reflect on intercultural issues, making them active receivers of the texts, as they will not merely read but also express their opinions, positioning themselves on intercultural matters while developing the linguistic competence in the foreign language.
