| Title | Spanish-Speaking Culture Materials |
| Body | I have used a couple of elementary readers in my class titled "Chico Chile dice: Vamos a Mexico y Centroamerica" and "Chico Chile dice: Vamos a Suramerica." There is also one for Spain, I believe. They are very basic readings about each country that provide some simple cultural concepts. It has questions about the reading, but I usually type my own and add to their questions to make them a little more challenging. I usually give these as homework, or we occasionally read them in class. In addition, we usually take every other Friday and concentrate on one country. This may be in the form of watching a video about the country and answering questions or writing a list of facts about the country or doing an Internet scavenger hunt on basic facts and cultural info about the country. I've found that it breaks the monotony of doing stuff from the book, grammar, etc. all the time. They also have to label a map of the countries, know the capital and recognize the flag. They are tested on each section. W. Re: How do you incorporate culture? Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (16 Feb. 2006). |
