| Resumo: | Teaching culture in the EFL classroom constitutes a crucial part of the learning process of language, as it establishes a connection between the language and its practicality in a real context. This relevance has gradually become present in the curriculum of Secondary Education, thus acquiring great importance in the materials used in the EFL classroom. Nevertheless, textbooks and graded materials often fail to faithfully represent the culture of a country, promoting the spread of stereotypes about the target culture. For that reason, this dissertation presents a didactic proposal that intends to teach the culture of the United Kingdom avoiding stereotypes, to allow students from 1st of Bachillerato to learn about that culture in the most realistic way possible. To achieve this, seven sessions were designed with activities aiming to foster students’ critical thinking and interest towards British culture, through authentic materials that ensure a realistic portrayal of the UK. |
