In this regard, although the "case study method" has received growing acknowledgment as part of foreign language education, little has been discussed with regard to its application within an intercultural communication. This is particularly true regarding the gap in understanding how Case Studies bridge the cultural gaps and improve students' language and views of the world, which calls for deeper investigation. Then, the goal of this article is to evaluate the case study method as an instrument for reinforcing foreign language acquisition, applied especially as a tool for intercultural communication within higher education. It was found that the method enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and intercultural awareness. Looking at real situations and solving them not only strengthens linguistic abilities but also opens one's eyes to even minute details of cultural interactions. Furthermore, the integration of new learning technologies in the application of this approach enhances its impact, thereby making the method even more relevant and engaging for modern learners. These results reflect the important implications of using the Case Study method for teaching foreign languages, both at the level of teaching practice and in terms of student learning.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN La comunicación intercultural se ha vuelto hoy más crucial que nunca, y más aún en la educación superior; por lo tanto, las pedagogías para la enseñanza del inglés académico también deberían cambiar teniendo esto en cuenta. En este sentido, aunque el "método de estudio de casos" ha recibido un reconocimiento creciente como parte de la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, se ha discutido poco con respecto a su aplicación dentro de una comunicación intercultural. Esto es particularmente cierto en lo que respecta a la brecha en la comprensión de cómo los estudios de casos cierran las brechas culturales y mejoran el lenguaje y las visiones del mundo de los estudiantes, lo que requiere una investigación más profunda. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es evaluar el método de estudio de casos como un instrumento para reforzar la adquisición de lenguas extranjeras, aplicado especialmente como una herramienta para la comunicación intercultural dentro de la educación superior. Se encontró que el método mejora el pensamiento crítico, la resolución de problemas y la conciencia intercultural. Mirar situaciones reales y resolverlas no solo fortalece las habilidades lingüísticas, sino que también abre los ojos a los detalles más minuciosos de las interacciones culturales. Además, la integración de nuevas tecnologías de aprendizaje en la aplicación de este enfoque mejora su impacto, haciendo que el método sea aún más relevante y atractivo para los estudiantes modernos. Estos resultados reflejan las importantes implicaciones del uso del método de estudio de caso para la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, tanto a nivel de la práctica docente como en términos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes.]]></p></abstract>
