Abstract

In this paper we present research about the importance of literature from multiple cultural backgrounds in the second language classroom. The literature review supports a proposal for specific readings. These are used as an example on how to incorporate texts in the classroom that motivate the development of cultural and communicative competences for students of English as a second language in a primary education context.
