dc.description.abstractThis study analyzes the impact of English language learning on the development of intercultural competencies in university students at the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Orellana campus. In today’s globalized context, English proficiency involves not only linguistic skills but also the ability to understand and function in culturally diverse environments. The research followed a mixed-method, descriptive-correlational approach, using techniques such as surveys, classroom observation, and document analysis. The sample consisted of students with an intermediate level of English. The results show that students have a moderate level of intercultural competence, reflected in a partial understanding of cultural differences and limitations in communicative adaptation. It was also found that English teaching mainly focuses on linguistic aspects, with limited integration of intercultural elements and ICT use. The study proposes the implementation of pedagogical strategies that include collaborative activities, cultural analysis, and virtual interaction environments. It is concluded that English language learning contributes to the development of intercultural competencies when supported by comprehensive educational approaches aimed at preparing global citizens.
