Make It Pop! (Culture) 

Students, whether they intrinsically want to study English or are pushed by extrinsic reasons, are all exposed to popular culture in English on a daily basis, may that be through T.V. shows, movies, music or advertisements. This presentation aims at understanding why it is essential to teach culture in the EFL classroom, and how pop culture is a great tool to do just that. The presenter will introduce various practical ideas and examples where still images, moving images and music can motivate students to communicate in English as well as learn about the target culture and reflect on their own in memorable ways.
