MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE
Strategies, Debates and Good Practices
"The dilemma, however, is when and how to teach these "language" and
"techniques". Skills cannot be taught permanently if they are not placed in the
context where students need to use them to communicate meaning"
(Buckingham, 2005: 209).
3.2.1. Methodology
Indeed it is desired that the issues raised lines before are organized so that
boys and girls of the workshop admit them slowly, having understood and test
them first.
Therefore creates two class models that are developed in an oscillatory way
throughout the course to promote learning that begins in the
instinctive/empirical and then to the formal use of audio visual language to
communicate fully.

privileged resource for a meaningful education" (Ferrés i Prats, 2008:123).
Ludica´s methodology lies primarily in the use of games as the starting point of
both kinds of classes Type A and Type B. Here the activities are the metaphor
that unites the exploratory/ interpretive experience with the later given theory,
legitimizing what the student initially has discovered. Let's look at the
development of the education system.
a. Class Type A
The game is used for students to discover and understand the meaning of
concepts empirically so that later these will be officially named in the theoretical
section. For example, if we talk about music composition, the class will start
with an activity that makes us all walk according to what the music tells us; if we
speak of raccord or continuity, we will play "Treasure Hunt" identifying
misplaced items, etc. With this vision, the teacher can question students what
