Resumen
[ES] Este trabajo fin de Master analiza los beneficios que se pueden obtener de utilización de obras dramáticas en la clase de ingles como lengua extranjera. En particular, se centra en uno de los autores mas grandes de la literatura universal, William Shakespeare, y propone el uso de una de sus obras mas celebres, Hamlet, como tema principal alrededor del cual crear una unidad didáctica. Lejos de quedarse en La superficie de esta obra y su autor, este trabajo analiza las fuentes clásicas que pudieron influenciar a Shakespeare en su creación, especialmente la Orestiada de Esquilo, y pretende presentarlas a los alumnos para motivar su ¡interés y aumentar tanto su conocimiento de la cultura y de la lengua inglesa, como su relación con otros elementos interdisciplinares, como la historia y la literatura. La unidad didáctica propuesta trabaja esos y otros contenidos con un grupo de 4e de Educación Secundaria obligatoria, a lo largo de ocho sesiones, que tendrán como objeto final la representación teatral de la obra en el aula.
