Last Monday, in our Democratic Citizenship lesson, our teacher asks us to find a video which shows something about our culture. So I decided to choose one which shows what happened the 23-F in Spain.
Firstly, before watching the video, you should know that the 23-F was an attempted coup d'état in Spain that began on 23 February 1981 and ended on the following day. It is also known as El Tejerazo from the name of its most visible figure, Antonio Tejero, who led the failed coup's most notable event: the bursting into the Spanish Congress of Deputies by a group of 200 armed officers of the Guardia Civil during the process of electing Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo to be the country's new Prime Minister. King Juan Carlos I gave a nationally televised address denouncing the coup and urging the maintenance of law and the continuance of the democratically elected government. The coup soon collapsed. After holding the Parliament and cabinet hostage for 18 hours the hostage-takers surrendered the next morning without having harmed anyone.
Once you have read the above information I would also like to tell you that the following video is about a musical playd by some actors in a very famous Spanish entertainment program, called "El Hormiguero". Although it is in Spanish, you can understand what is happening because of the show. It starts in the minute 00:58, I hope you enjoy and learn something about it.
With the above blog entry about activities in mind I have some questions in relation to the video asignment.
ResponderEliminarIf you should use this video in another cultural context than Spain what should you then be aware about?
How would you use it in an intercultural perspective? It has lots of cultural aspects. Try use the text "methods and materials to develop intercultural competence" (it is on Fronter) to answer the question.
