Abstract:
Intercultural education and English language teaching play a key role in the development of inclusive societies, acting as cultural mediators and vehicles for European key competences. This study examines how the implementation of Learning Cities principles in EFL/ESL teaching can promote inclusion and multilingual literacy. The investigation explores: (1) English teachers' competences in intercultural communicative language teaching; (2) innovative pedagogical approaches for ESP; (3) Learning Cities as ecosystems supporting teacher development. Methodologically, the research combines literature review with analysis of teaching practices in different contexts, focusing on authentic materials, formative assessment and digital technologies. The results show that the integration of Learning Cities principles improves both language competence and intercultural awareness, while supporting teachers' professional development and ensuring equitable language education in line with lifelong learning principles.
