description

[EN] The family is the foundation and unifying force of children’s education. New family models have emerged in the last decades including single-parent, homosexual, and multicultural families. If this is an everyday reality, why not show it in the Spanish as a foreign language class through literature? We propose using picture books and the power of both images and words to teach children not only linguistic competence but also emotional intelligence. El día de la rana roja is chosen to illustrate how to teach Spanish as a foreign language through the story of two princes that is full of symbolism and readaptations of traditional topoi. It is an all-embracing, optimistic, and accepting story of homosexuality and gay adoption. We then present a teaching proposal based on workshop. It touches upon conceptual, social and grammatical notions. To sum up, we believe that picture books can be a useful tool in showing the reality of new family models to children of the 21st century
