Description
Summary:Peace education is a cross-curricular value of special importance in secondary education, and thus it should also be addressed in the EFL classroom. A good way to do it while coming closer to the Northern Irish culture and developing the Intercultural Communicative Competence is through the topic of the Troubles. When putting that experience into practice and in order to try to avoid a biased view or any kind of stereotype, using realia and replica can result beneficial. Therefore, this final MA dissertation presents four learning situations aimed at each of the levels of ESO in which working with the topic of the Troubles through realia and replica is used as a means to foster peace education and enhance the students’ Intercultural Communicative Competence.
