This article reports an experience of creating materials to approach a literary work in an advanced English course. It also proposes a reflection on the elements that can be considered in the promotion and development of the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) based on the literature. To do so, a material consisting of 84 activities designed to guide the reading of the novel Americanah by Chimamanda Adichie (2014) was analyzed. The reflections from this analysis expose the need that the teachers study in depth their creation of materials, in order to identify purposes, implicit ideological stances and pedagogical opportunities to promote the ICC.
