INTERCULTURAL DIDACTICS IN THE POETRY OF FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA: PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

The present study investigates the integration of poetry into education though application of active and communicative methods. The approach commences with individual text reading and progresses to group discussions and didactic activities aimed at fostering comprehension of cultural aspects within literary texts. Federico García Lorca, a distinguished Spanish poet of the early 20th century, is renowned for introducing neopopular and surrealist literature during the Silver Age of Spanish literature. This article aims to present the cultural element of The Ballad of the Moon, Moon, as a didactic tool in teaching culture within the B language. This didactic proposal enhances reading competence and encourages analytical, reflective, and critical competence regarding literary texts. The focus includes a comparison of gypsy culture in Albania and Spain through a literary and intercultural approach. Students engage in motivational didactic activities crucial for their literary and cultural education.
