English as a foreign language curriculums often lack culturally relevant lesson material. In collaboration with Kañari Original Multicultural Inclusive Program (PRIMOK) in Cañar, Ecuador, this project aimed to both produce stories of local restaurants known as huecas for PRIMOK and create visuals to better promote these restaurants to English-speaking tourists. Lesson material produced will allow students to learn English in a manner that will preserve the local culture. Interviews were conducted with teachers, owners, and customers of each hueca to gain information that was needed to produce the final visuals and lesson materials. The team recommends that PRIMOK expands on this project and that the local government uses tourism websites to further advertise local gastronomy.
