dc.description.abstract | A continually changing environment of technology and communication in the modern workforce has established a new baseline for 21st-century students who require ESL educators to involve visual resources in their curriculum design for freshman composition courses. Works of popular culture promote student engagement through dissemination as part of their external literacy expertise. Secondary data on popular culture, engagement, and multimodality has been reviewed to develop a document that evaluates Anime and its benefits when integrated into higher education freshman writing classes. It is argued that Anime is constructive towards educators’ goals to draw interest from students towards skill acquisition and engagement on global issues. This thesis informs educators on how the inclusion of Anime as a resource would be successful towards engaging students with classroom content and developing skills on vocabulary, reading comprehension, fluency, and domain knowledge. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Un entorno de constante cambio en la tecnología y comunicación de nuestra fuerza laboral moderna ha establecido un nuevo estándar para los estudiantes del siglo XXI que requieren que los educadores de inglés como Segundo Idioma (ESL por sus siglas en Inglés) involucren recursos visuales en el diseño de currículo para cursos de composición postsecundaria. Los materiales de cultura popular promueven el interés de los estudiantes a través de su difusión como parte de sus especialidades externas al salón de clases. Datos secundarios en los campos académicos de cultura popular, participación estudiantil y educación multimodal se han evaluado ampliamente para desarrollar un documento que evalúe el Anime y sus beneficios para las clases de composición de educación postsecundaria. Se argumenta que el Anime es constructivo para los objetivos de los educadores de atraer el interés de los estudiantes hacia la adquisición de habilidades y la participación en temas globales. Esta tesis informa a los educadores sobre cómo la inclusión del Anime como recurso educacional sería exitosa para involucrar a los estudiantes con el contenido de sus cursos y desarrollar habilidades de vocabulario, comprensión de lectura, fluidez en el lenguaje y conocimientos en áreas temáticas. | en_US |
