subject
humormemestraditionteachingculturedescription
The paper deals with different possibilities of using humor in Internet memes to enrich teaching culture to students of diverse backgrounds. Selected examples of image macros connected with particular holidays celebrated in Poland were analyzed and presented as a potential illustrative material for discussions about various, sometimes even sensitive subjects such as religion or taboos. The deciphering of understatements and overstatements included in the humorous genres gives an insight into social, political, economic and historical knowledge about particular cultures. Visually attractive material may serve as an inspiration for debates and jocular form of examples makes the intercultural communication easier and learning more rewarding.
