Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo final de máster es el utilizar la literatura fantástica como aliciente para fomentar la lectura y la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera, aprovechando el reciente éxito y popularidad de este tipo de obras. Además, se fomentará la creatividad a través de la producción de textos escritos. En la primera parte de este trabajo se desarrollará un marco teórico donde se analizará cómo se ha estado utilizando la literatura fantástica como recurso para enseñar inglés, incluyendo métodos, enfoques, ventajas e inconvenientes. Estos aspectos de la parte teórica se pondrán en práctica con una unidad didáctica que promueve la enseñanza del inglés a través de actividades dinámicas. El objetivo es la creación de una propuesta que permita desarrollar la capacidad creativa, así como una mejoría en la comprensión lectora y el resto de habilidades.
The objective of this Master's thesis is to use fantasy literature as an incentive to promote the reading and teaching of English as a foreign language, taking advantage of the recent success and popularity of this type of work. In addition, creativity will be encouraged through the production of written texts. For this, the first part of this work will be dedicated to a theoretical framework where we will analyse how literature has been used as a resource to teach English, including methods and approaches, advantages and disadvantages, as well as an analysis of fantastic literature, its benefits and a selection of appropriate books for the classroom. These aspects of the theoretical part will be applied in a didactic unit that promotes the teaching of English through dynamic activities. We intend our didactic proposal to foster creativity, as well as an improvement in reading comprehension and other skills.
