• Abstract:

  This article aims to present considerations about the development of plurilingual didactics for intercultural English language teaching and learning. From this perspective, our aim is to highlight the relevance of incorporating a plurilingual proposal as an alternative for implementing more diverse and dynamic teaching, which is not locked into a single culture and which understands the relevance of students' prior knowledge and linguistic and cultural differences for the development of students' cultural and communicative competence. In this context, we discuss how the practice and inclusion of this strategy favors linguistic development, the broadening of cultural vision and the expansion of the critical-reflexive awareness of students, who necessarily need to deal with otherness and the nuances of the contemporary world.
