CASTANEDA USAQUEN, Mireya Esther. Adolescent Students' Intercultural Awareness When Using Culture-Based Materials in the English Class. profile [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.1, pp.29-48. ISSN 1657-0790.
This article reports on a qualitative and interpretative case study conducted at a high school located in the southeast of Bogotá. The case is comprised of a group of fifty-one eighth graders who had had little contact with English. It aimed at exploring how these adolescents made sense of the culture-based materials implemented in the English lessons, and at describing their perceptions about foreign cultures. Video and audio recordings, surveys, field notes and students' artifacts were used to collect data. In this article, teachers can find some materials and reflections upon cultures as well as some ideas on how they can be adapted to their own needs and/or teaching contexts.
