Abstract

The teaching of a language must invariable go hand in hand with the culture of the people who speak it as they infuse it with their way of life, their surroundings and their social relationships. This inseparable association of language and culture gains special relevance in the field of the media and, specifically, in relation to televisión. Today, every specialized course worthy of mention, involved in the learning of one’s native language (L1), a second language (SL) or foreign language (FL), dedicate a significant part of their study to this type of media. We are approaching a potencial instrumentation of televisión as a didactic tool in the language classroom with its interpretation of culture.
