Rural contexts and their possibilities to enhance the teaching and learning of English focused on Cultural Identity development; The Providencia parish.

English language instruction in rural areas is hampered by low English language proficiency. This study seeks to address the need to incorporate local cultural identity into English language teaching to promote the better development of The Providencia Parish. The objective of this research is to design pedagogical materials that take advantage of the socioeconomic, cultural and touristic characteristics of the sector to teach the English language and promote cultural identity in the community. A qualitative research design was used, and observation, interviews and documentary analysis were used to access sociocultural information of the parish reality. The study determined that the lack of English language proficiency hinders local development. Therefore, the use of educational materials reinforces the motivation and learning of the population. The study concludes that the use of cultural identity in English language teaching not only improves language learning, but also the residents' sense of belonging. The materials created can serve as a useful tool for other similar communities.
