Resumo
In this study, our main goal was to examine whether there is evidence of an intercultural
approach in the unit “What did I do?” from Reward (intermediate level), which focuses on
misunderstandings (or mistakes) that may happen in interactions among people from different
countries. The specific goals were: to establish whether the intercultural issue is addressed in the unit
and, if so, in which ways, as well as to observe whether the unit contributes to the formation of
intercultural sensitivity in students. The nature of the analysis was qualitative. The theoretical
framework was anchored in the constructs of language, culture, and interculturality. The analysis of
the unit revealed that the intercultural dimension is present and approached in three ways: (a) putting
students in contact with international situations of misunderstandings caused by cultural differences;
(b) asking the students the clarification of possible personal reactions in misunderstandings situations;
and, (c) eliciting misunderstandings experiences that will inevitably lead to an explanation of at least
two different cultures. The analysis also showed that the unit has the potential to promote intercultural
awareness in the learner, depending on the teacher’s education. The exercises presented in the unit
promote the knowledge of the differences in macro and micro-cultures, but not necessarily the respect
and tolerance to these, elements that will depend on the teacher to be addressed. Thus, it seems that in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural world there is much to be gained to address the issue
‘intercultural approach’ in education courses for language teachers.
