A wonderfull placeOnline version Esta es una actividad creada para dar a conocer la cultura de Australia en una clase de idioma ingles, en donde los estudiantes puedan poner en practica sus habilidades de habla, escucha, escritura y lectura. by Daniela Gómez Luisa Hello Alfredo How are you? Alfredo Hello Luisa I´m Fine, thanks and you? Luisa Fine, thanks¡ How was your trip to Australia? Alfredo It was great! You don't know how much I loved this culture. Luisa Really? Tell me a little about this culture! Alfredo Sure¡ People are friendly, relaxed, kind and respect foreigners a lot. Alfredo They are characterized by being people who respect equality, freedom, and other people, since they are open to welcoming people from other countries with great kindness and also love and care for nature. Luisa Wow, Beautiful! The people are so nice! Tell me a little about the food. How's it going? Alfredo The food is delicious! Their signature dishes include meat pie, barbecue, and kangaroo meat. I loved their food. Luisa sounds delicious¡ Luisa What about their festivities? Did you enjoy them? Alfredo Australia Day is celebrated on January 26th with parades, barbecues, and community events. Christmas is very important, and since it falls during the summer, it's celebrated on the beach with a barbecue and fireworks. ANZAC Day is celebrated on April 25th, a commemoration of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in World War I. It is also celebrated with religious services and parades. There are also festivals in Melbourne, Perth, and Vivid Sydney, among others. Alfredo I enjoyed them very much because they are festivals and celebrations that bring the population together and allow you to see music, dance, art, sports, lights, parades, and many beautiful things. Alfredo Furthermore, Australia's cultural perspective is very diverse. For example, Aboriginal languages connect with the geographic environment, and many use the cardinal directions instead of saying left or right, which generates a codification of ecological and social knowledge reflected in the Australian worldview. Alfredo Additionally, Australian Aboriginal languages transmit knowledge through "songlines," which are songs that share knowledge about the land, ancestral stories, laws, responsibilities, etc. Aboriginal people view them as maps of the land and maps of life that guide them in their territory and connect them with their heritage. Luisa Really? How interesting! And what were you able to observe about the evolutionary perspective? Alfredo Studies in Australia have analyzed how languages and different cognitive abilities have evolved in response to environmental and social contexts. For example, Australian languages feature phonological (sound), morphological (word structure), and syntactic (combining words to form meaningful sentences) systems. Luisa Great! Australia's Aboriginal communities are magnificent! Alfredo Yes! And their perspective on development is even better. Many Aboriginal and urban communities use multiple languages, as it is a multicultural country, and this has influenced linguistic variation from an early age. The most beautiful thing is seeing how children tell stories, including spatial, temporal, and social elements, reflecting their Aboriginal cultural identity. Luisa Sounds great! You left me wanting to know more. Can we go? Alfredo Of course! Next year we'll go Alfredo I have to go, Luisa. It was a pleasure talking with you and sharing a bit of the culture of the country where I was and felt so good. Bye! Luisa Thanks to you Alfredo. Bye¡
