Los alumnos aprenden de forma divertida. Se sienten motivados y por ello aprenden más pues están de algún modo más concentrados. Precisamente éste que que he puesto en el blog me parece muy adecuado, ya que está lleno de humor y juegos de palabras.<br />
Existen muchas actividades que se pueden realizar con este método audiovisual, ya se trabaje sólo con la imagen,sólo con el sonido o con ambos. Se pueden hacer múltiples ejercicios de descripción, predicción, role-plays, etc.estherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693338275434587302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781416959437769566.post-30464170464535886952011-04-06T10:38:00.000-07:002011-04-06T10:38:06.498-07:00The annoying orange<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZN5PoW7_kdA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>estherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693338275434587302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781416959437769566.post-22893346327960512362011-04-05T14:44:00.000-07:002011-04-05T14:56:53.425-07:00Prueba con el reproductor Komcitiz<div style='width:200;display:block;text-align:center;font-family:Arial;font-size:11px;'><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.komcitiz.com/JL/documents/s.php?s=ani_son_player_mp3_1.swf" width="200" height="20" id="JL_BALISE_

I love the English language, the English customs and their traditions.

I´ve grown up watching them and I have learnt quite a lot about British customs and traditions. This has allowed me to study a lot about English culture from a multidisciplinary approach: history, literature, politics, cinema, etc.</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Britain is full of customs and traditions.

<li><u>English breakfast</u>. It consists of several courses: porridge, bacon, eggs, saussages, grilled or fried tomatoes and a slice of fried bread. Nowadays the only time people eat a full English breakfast is on Sundays and on holyday; when they can spend a more leisurely morning. People now, consider it unhealthy.</li>
<li><u>Take-away meals</u>. They are very popular in Britain. Fish and chips is the classic English take-away food and is the traditional national food of England. It became popular in the 1800's when railways began to bring fresh fish straight from the coast.</li>
<li><u>Pubs</u>. The word pub stands for public house. There are over 60 000 pubs in the UK. Pubs are a very important part in British life. People talk,eat, drink meet their friends and relax there.</li>

<li>The British <u>Bobby</u> is one of the most cherised icons.</li>
<li> The <u>Bulldog</u> which symbolises the very essence of britishness. He is solid, reliable, loyal, very individual, very nice when you get to know him.</li>
<li>In the same way the Americans have Uncle Sam, the British have<u> John Bull</u>. He is a fictional character who personifies the British nation, and the typical Ennglishman.</li>
<li><u>Britannia</u> is the personification of British nationalism. She is portrayed as a young woman in a neo-classical gown and helmet seated by the sea. She is holding a trident in one hand and a shield decorated with the Union Jack in the other.</li>
<li><u>The Bowler hat </u>conjures up an instant image of Britishness. It is worn today as the "unofficial uniform" of the city gent, always accesorized with a rolled up black umbrella.</li>
