Resumen

El presente estudio tiene por objeto la expansión de la enseñanza de Estudios Norteamericanos en la Universidad de Alcalá a través de la implementación de textos de cultura popular para apoyar el proceso de comprensión y análisis de contextos socioculturales extranjeros. Considerando la penetración de productos estadounidenses en el marco de una mayor accesibilidad dada por la globalización digital, resulta particularmente útil el acercamiento a tales textos desde una perspectiva académica y crítica. Derivado de las respuestas proporcionadas por un grupo diverso de estudiantes, y teniendo en cuenta sus limitaciones, el estudio enfoca cómo la cultura popular informa y configura la disposición de los estudiantes hacia el aprendizaje, permitiendo plantear cómo se podría desarrollar una asignatura en Estudios Norteamericanos con el fin de explotar tales textos y estimular eficazmente un conocimiento más diverso de los contextos estadounidenses.
