AB This dissertation examines the increasing cultural diversity in classrooms and highlights the importance of promoting Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in the teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in secondary education. Based on Byram’s theoretical model, it shows how foreign language learning promotes intercultural awareness. The core of this study is the design of a didactic unit entitled Citizens of the World, designed for 3rd secondary students, which combines active methodologies and cross-curricular content such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This unit seeks to enhance ICC through English learning by encouraging empathy, cultural awareness, and respect for diversity through meaningful learning experiences. Through activities that foster communication, critical thinking, and reflection, students are invited to explore diverse cultural realities, fostering inclusion and reflection in the English classroom. Ultimately, this proposal aims to contribute to a more inclusive, respectful, equitable, and globally conscious educational practice.
