Although often regarded as a mere form of entertainment, movies can and should be incorporated into the elementary classroom as supplementary material to be paired with their corresponding works of literature.

Teaching English To Refugees Through Storytelling, Emily Camplejohn
Senior Honors Theses

En esa conciencia, los estudiantes pueden contrastar sus situaciones reales y su vida cotidiana como jóvenes colombianos en comparación con los países dominantes de habla inglesa. La narración de historias es una estrategia poderosa para revelar …
