Mejora de la competencia comunicativa en lengua extranjera (inglés) a través de la literatura

Abstract

Mediante este trabajo pretendemos profundizar en el tema de la literatura infantil en lengua inglesa y cómo trabajarla en el aula de Educación Primaria. El trabajo se basa en un marco teórico donde se analizará el recorrido histórico de la literatura infantil en lengua inglesa, pasando a describir los diferentes métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, y después se explicarán los géneros de la literatura infantil inglesa (cuento, poesía y teatro). Posteriormente, se describirán los beneficios que tiene la literatura para el alumnado de Educación Primaria y, por último, diseñaremos y presentaremos una propuesta de unidad didáctica para alumnado de sexto de primaria.
