Abstract

This article proposes linguistic intercultural exchange projects between high schools as a
solution to three of the major problems of TEFL during secondary education: motivation,
participation and negative emotions in the classroom. For this purpose, the three aspects


previously mentioned are analyzed from a theoretical point of view in order to discover
how intercultural linguistic exchanges between educational institutions in the English
classroom, realized through the ICT, can improve our students' learning process. In
addition, the article discusses didactic proposals for language exchange projects between
educational institutions of different non-English speaking countries. From this study, it is
concluded that the intercultural contact between adolescents in the English classroom
through ICT improves their motivation and involvement in the learning process and
alleviates the negative feelings that arise during the study of this language.
