Today, most educational contexts appear as culturally diverse digital spaces that require effective intercultural relations to function properly. Learning Spanish is not exempt from this task. The objective of this study was to analyse to what extent a virtual program that explores the linguistic and cultural diversity of Spanish as a foreign language can help to develop intercultural communication. We use a nested concurrent mixed method. The quantitative techniques remain the predominant approach. Data will be analysed from a pre-test, post-test, and control group design and will include questionnaires and personal interviews. The results confirm that the digital pedagogical tool encourages and facilitates an intercultural dialogue between the varieties of Spanish involved in a more exhaustive and effective way, also between Spanish and other students’ languages, thus reflecting a more open and eclectic learning process.
