Learning between cultures is very important because helps us to increase all the knowledge that we have in different aspects of our life in diverse world’s communities. In the University of Mexico intercultural learning is very important for students to learn a second language like English. It helps to intensify all the globalization process and the interconnection movement between people and culture that we actually live and we barely know. Imagination in all aspects touched and focuses, in the guide provide by the teacher, have a huge importance in the culture learning. Through years it was gave by books which tells stories that develop the strength and knowledge that students acquires in the moment to write a composition or essay showing all their learning. Recently it shows a change inside the learning and teaching process with besides books also include diverse strategies and materials increasing strength and imagination’s develops of the students in the creating process of a text showing their knowledge about different cultures. As the guide said this materials like movies, music and television, should be use in the manner of the student can do a reflection about their own culture and also to have the capacity to relate itself with other cultures. The text use is no longer left in a side, instead united to the movies form a complement that leadership and creates the best knowledge related with the EFL.
An example of all these new process is reflected in Borat the movie. This movie proofs the huge difference that exists in aspects like culture, social and economic, between two countries. Borat, character created by Sacha Baron Cohen, pass over streets and cities of United States, watching real situation of real people, taking them to extreme moments that show the real cultural and social being of each one of them, the intolerance, sex, equality, kindness, racism, innocence and patriotism, let it know the different situations that is engaged this character.
As result, this movie is a clear example of the impact that one film can have in classrooms, maybe some of them react in a cultural way but others react in a very different way. The importance is that all of these go beyond the impact that “Borat” produce in every single student, creating a new learning and instigate others to reflex about the all main aspects in life and the culture of many other countries in the development process or poor economic and socially still live. This movie shows the difference in architecture, literature and speech between two countries that take our attention and touch our emotions. It is very important as is written in the guide “using films in teaching composition” is not an easy task, no all the people think the same, so is very important to create a triangle when we watched a movie “see, listen and fell” to be able to understand and write an essay in which the triangle had been use and see the personal impact in it, or also can be discuss the subject in the classroom.
Sometimes is more flexible and easier because students prefer talk about what they watched than written in a piece of paper, because when they get to the discussion, the facts are fresh and the teacher can help them with their learning process and answer all the doubts everyone have. This is a very interesting method for the reason that students learn in an easy and dynamic way, themes of vital importance such society, culture, architecture, language and also speech. It is an incredible experience when we notice how one person (movie’s director) could take us to create a discussion about the film story and to remember impact scenes which get our attention.
