Resumen

El pensamiento crítico se considera un componente clave en cualquier proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. De forma específica, en la clase de inglés para fines específicos, esto resulta importante para la mejora de la competencia lingüística. En este sentido, los medios audiovisuales pueden ser de gran importancia y utilizarse para su desarrollo. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre el sistema financiero estadounidense y su influencia en el resto del mundo con una actividad que fue diseñada utilizando una metodología trifásica. El estudio se enmarca en la clase de Traducción Financiera en la que se presta especial atención a las habilidades de pensamiento oral y crítico. El documental de Netflix utilizado para la actividad fue Dirty Money, que trata sobre diferentes temas financieros relacionados con la economía estadounidense y su influencia en países de todo el mundo. Los resultados muestran que las actividades de este tipo pueden contribuir de una forma dinámica e interesante al desarrollo de las habilidades de pensamiento crítico, al mismo tiempo que mejoran la competencia oral de los estudiantes y el uso de terminología especializada.
