This is, <strong>to</strong>gether with the communicative skills, the other main axis of my unit, and<br />
teaching some sociocultural aspects of the English-speaking world has helped me <strong>to</strong> set<br />
the basis for the communicative skills. The main aspects I have dealt with are:<br />
• The conventions of letter writing<br />
• The his<strong>to</strong>ry of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
• The theatre<br />
• Recreation<br />
• Fast food<br />
• The United Nations<br />
• Immigration<br />
• The subway<br />
• Religions<br />
• Literature<br />
• Art and museums<br />
• And, in general, as I have repeatedly expressed in other sections of this rationale,<br />
this unit will be an attempt <strong>to</strong> develop in my students an interest in other cultures<br />
meant in an interactive way: the interest in the foreign culture will increase their<br />
interest in the foreign language and vice versa.
