Summary/Abstract: Folktales and Fairy Tales have been useful for centuries to give voice to the dreams, aspirations and concerns of all peoples. These cultural samples are an extraordinary ally for the study of Spanish as a Foreign Language, acting as a link between the culture of origin and the target language. This article presents a project in which students from a Master’s Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL) and students from Spanish courses from different institutions worked collaboratively in recovering oral tradition stories. Its objective was to develop intercultural competence in the SFL classroom and, later, to create teaching materials.
