Examples of NSA’s intercultural contributions to extensive reading
Examples of NSA’s intercultural contributions to
extensive reading
Course: English
Language III. TTC: I.S.P. “J.V. González”. Teacher: Analía
Kandel
1. Auster,
Paul. 2001 (ed.) True Tales of American
Life. London: Faber & Faber. This book compiles stories edited by well-known
author Paul Auster, who read them out on NPR (National Public Radio). The T
asked the NSA to select a tale with rich cultural content and plan pre-, while-
and after-reading activities. The NSA (K. Curtis, Fulbright NSA 2009) selected
a tale on the theme of discrimination/racism, shared the biography of Billie
Holiday, the famous American jazz
singer, and presented and played the song “Strange
Fruit” through a video with the
picture that inspired the lyrics: a lynched African-American man, hanging
upside-down from a tree. A discussion on slavery, the Civil War, the KKK, the
Civil Rights movement, discrimination in the U.S. today, and other related
issues ensued. Ss shared examples of discrimination/racism in Argentina. As a
follow-up, the T set the writing task "A True Tale of Argentine
Life". Ss published it on their e-Portfolio (Blog) and the NSA added
comments.
2. Hornby,
Nick. 2005. A Long Way Down. London:
Penguin. T asked the NSA to focus on
JJ, an American character who, together with the other three main characters
(British) point to stereotypes British people tend to have of Americans.
3. Raban,
Jonathan. 2006. Surveillance. New
York: Vintage. The T asked the NSA
(Scott Clark, Fulbright NSA 2010) to read the novel and plan an activity on the
theme of post-9/11 U.S.A. The NSA conducted a very thought-provoking debate.
