En este deseo nuestro de dar a conocer diferentes experiencias didácticas relacionadas con el cine, ahora presentamos la actividad que una profe de inglés de nuestro instituto, Susana Catalán, ha preparado para aprender inglés aprovechando las palabras que se pronunciaron en la última Gala de los Premios Oscar.
Los textos de los que ha partido son, por una parte, el discurso pronunciado por Michelle Obama y, por otra, las palabras de agradecimiento de Ben Affleck después de que ella nombrara ARGO como la ganadora a mejor película.
Te recomendamos ver primero el trailer de la película:
Ahora ¡anímate! y escucha con atención el vídeo de la actividad. Debajo tienes la ficha propuesta por la profesora, así que intenta completarla. Si alguna respuesta se te resiste... después de escuchar varias veces.... encontrarás las soluciones al final.
