“Un viaje por España”Teaching Language Acquisition
and Conversation Through Culture
by Nathan AndesBrook Road Academy at St. Joseph’s Villa,
Richmond VA
![Page 2: Un viaje por España](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554c7ab2b4c90575798b597c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why teach culture? (according to me)-It uses language in its appropriate, applicable context
-It involves “real life”-It incorporates “everything”
-It can theoretically cater to the students’ interests, regardless of what they are, or regardless of the students’ age(s)
-Language is dead without its attendant culture…think of Esperanto’s failure

What about Spain will influence my teaching in VA? A LOT…BUT…-Vosotros “matters” -Context is key to culture-Reality is more complex than stereotypes and controlled anecdotes are valuable-”Pronunciation with passion” -Give the student power!

Lesson 1: Daily schedule, traditions, and “la comida”
• Level: Any (can be adapted for use with various tenses, vocabulary, etc.)
• Preparation: Vocabulary in target language, presented in advance or with use of student resources
• The student will: -Consider the impact of their nation and home on their schedule
• -Consider what they eat and do each day, at what time• -Consider and notice family traditions and customs regarding
food and restaurants• Use an authentic Spanish menu, talk about likes and dislikes
with food

Why do it this way? Isn’t this Chapter 1 day 1 stuff? (Yes)
• Learning Spanish (or any language) does not replace our understanding of culture but merely amplifies it. Instead of “psst, camarero!” jokes, you can have a real experience and create curiosity for more learning and experience, as well as inspire confidence!

Duration and materials:
• 2 classes of 90 minutes each, possibly 2.5• Materials: Menu of a restaurant in the typical
Spanish (or whatever) style• -List of necessary vocabulary for that restaurant
(1A) and menu (1B)• -List of verbs and phrases for discussing food,
likes, and dislikes, based on level (1C)• Pictures of 3 or more foods• Schedule lists for daily activities

Step 1:-Distribute schedules and have
students complete in English, with regards to what time they wake up, go to school and come home, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, do their
homework, go to bed, etc.
![Page 8: Un viaje por España](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554c7ab2b4c90575798b597c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step 2
• Have a brief discussion asking the students why they do what at whatever time, and how that effects their day and their family’s life.
• The instructor should interject about how an accepted schedule develops and changes in a given country or culture
• Have students write a paragraph in L1 or L2 about a family tradition around a common holiday. Compare briefly and note common practices and dishes between students

Step 3
• Without instructions have students make a list of typical American and Spanish (or L2) foods (gently correct misconceptions)
• Have them write 5-10 down (instructor can add to this) and write sentences about whether they like it or not (in L1 or L2)

Step 4Distribute menu with vocabulary (1D) and ask students to read it aloud as a class, practicing pronunciation of words (the original vocabulary list can have words from this on it if necessary)
Talk about times of day that meals are eaten and lunch as the primary meal (in the case of Spain)
Introduce phrases related to ordering and eating food (1C)
Have students engage in and possibly present dialogue where they order from the menu, and include phrases based on what time it is, how long they might stay, and when they have to return to work/school (teacher can guide this, adding phrases as necessary)

El menú de “Al Sur,” Madrid
![Page 12: Un viaje por España](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554c7ab2b4c90575798b597c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Expansion ideas!
• Have students search for recipes based on the menu and instruct the class on its preparation (advanced) or simply list nouns in its ingredients (basic)
• Have students write a narrative in the present, conditional, or past tense based on what they are eating, would have eaten, or ate at the restaurant
• Bring in some actual food and eat it. Gets ‘em every time. Then surreptitiously start teaching about the history of the dish or its significance!
• Distribute an example of a typical Spanish schedule. Compare. (Use 1E again)

Lesson 2: Identities based on foods
Or, snaring them with regional alliances

We will do this by one by showing and not telling, a la John Updike
(R.I.P., John.)
![Page 19: Un viaje por España](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554c7ab2b4c90575798b597c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Instructions:
• No me gusta, but at least I’m not a cannibal!
-I will show several slides of foods. If you’re wise to this, suspend you cynicism and have fun. Pick your favorite and imagine as if you were a student who didn’t know anything about these, whose conception of Spanish food was Taco Bell. Would they look gross? Intriguing? Enticing? Vomit inducing?
(In the classroom, you can have students verbally describe the pictures in groups or individually, write about them, or just say if they like them or not in the target language. Clearly, this can be adapted. If you’re technology strapped, do it the old fashioned way and kill some trees, distributing the pictures throughout the classroom)

Ok let’s get serious. Steps:
• Show pictures, one by one• Have each student respond to each picture in
the manner of your choosing.• Press students to tell you why they liked some
more than others• Have them describe the aromas, tastes,
ingredients, textures, or recipes for each item. Do not censor here; they have not tasted the food! (All this can be L2, ideally)

Los tres platosAfter students have discussed their dish of choice, present information about the course divisions common in Spain
Ask them if they think their chosen dish would be served as a first, second, or third course, and why (this can hearken back to their descriptions of the tastes, flavors, and textures)
Divide the class into groups based on their shared preferences. Then, give each group images to associate with their chosen food. These groups can be used in the future for many purposes.
The same exercise can be done with drinks. For the purposes of this demonstration, I have left alcoholic drinks in. This can continue into an exploration of the culture of the USA and alcohol versus that of Spain, and different countries’ notions of prudence therewith.
Obviously, if your school discourages that, don’t do it.

Et cetera.
• The goal is identity and ownership. The student has inadvertently identified with the L2 culture
Now do the same thing with the drinks- asking what they like and why, and getting descriptions. Ask them to notice differences such as the shapes of glasses, sizes of portions, etc. and compare these with American (or L1) customs.
Again, the class can be divided based on regions (this time much more arbitrarily). This can be used as a motivation to “adopt” different communities and to create identification with specific aspects of the L2’s culture
This can be simplified or amplified, with or without vocabulary prompts, as a review for a test on geography, etc. Students can write or speak comparisons, defend “their” community’s food, etc.

Ideas for the identities:
• Extension activities where students research and present on their region, with their choice of application
• Stage debates between regions, where students defend their chosen region. This can extend to other aspects: sports, weather, geography, politics, economy, etc.
• Have students search an artifact, product, music, or food from their region and discuss it with the class. Can be done in L2.
• (The handouts have examples in English and Spanish---can be used for any L2 with your adaptation)
