Resumen
This present study explores the practice of enhancing oral production by teaching culture within a Content-Based Instruction approach, and it was done at the Centro de Estudios en Inglés Conversacional (CEIC), an outreach program from Universidad Nacional (UNA) with a group of intermediate English as Foreign Language students. The aim of this study was to determine whether the students enriched their oral produc-tion from including cultural topics into communicative tasks. As a main finding, the participants enhanced their oral performance, focusing on content rather than on the language forms; likewise, the participants ef-ficiently incorporated cultural content into their oral production.
