Resumo(s)
Especially for the last two decades, vast international research and work has
been done in the field of intercultural education, highlighting its major role in the
context of a globalized, multicultural and interconnected world. Moreover, the role of
intercultural education in language education has been discussed and studied and its
importance in the development of interculturally competent citizens has been
acknowledged.
Aware of this situation, intercultural education guidelines, specifically in
Europe, have encouraged the implementation of educational policies in this regard.
However, despite those guidelines and recommendations, there is still a lack of
awareness and knowledge on the part of language teachers and other education
stakeholders.
Therefore, this work intends to go through significant literature on the matter
and raise awareness to the need of promoting intercultural communicative competence,
and intercultural attitudes in particular. Furthermore, this work aims at exploring the
mutual beneficial relationship between intercultural education and English language
teaching to young learners in Portugal, taking advantage of their young age to build
responsible adults and engaged citizens. Finally, this work seeks to make suggestions of
materials and activities that can address intercultural education in the aforementioned
context.
