Abstract
Objective: Analyze how integrative cultural tasks can improve students’ intercultural awareness, digital competence, and understanding of the “world of English” in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking countries. Methods: A thematic analysis was conducted to identify recurring perceptions and experiences regarding cultural learning and intercultural competence. Nine students from the BA Program in English Teaching were conveniently selected. They accomplished a cultural awareness project focused on researching an English-speaking community. Data were collected through students’ projects and semi-structured interviews.

Conclusion: Cultural competence should be integrated transversally throughout English Programs using authentic materials, technology, and intercultural projects that promote inclusion, empathy, critical thinking, and global communication skills.
