What do we know about the United Kingdom? Part 2








Hello! Here we’re again with our second video about what do people know about Bristish culture and how they can relate it with our Chilean culture. As in the previous video, the interviews shown in it are from people from the ILCL, PUCV; also, it was recorded in the Sausalito Campus.

This time, the interviewers are Patricio Villalón (2008), Pía Ulloa (2010) , Nicolás Calvo (2011 - and our classmate) and Victor Díaz (2011 - and our classmate). All of them are students from older generations; and Mariangela Sardes, she is one of our classmates and belongs to the 2012’s generation. What we want to see, with the answers given in this video, the different knowledge that the students have about the British culture according to the time they have spent at University.

We have to say that we were really surprised when we started to recollect all the answers and put them together. Honestly, we were expecting longest and more eloquent answers from the older students, instead of that thought, the student from the 2012’s generation seems to know more than most of the others.

Despite that, and relating this with the previous video, Monarchy, Royalty, The Queen, music (Queen and The Beatles), seem to be the most popular British icons that people can think about at the very first time, without thinking that much about it. And the relations that they could do were almost the same too, many of them related with British influence in history, literature, music, and in our University, in relation with the English Accent.

So, we can’t avoid asking ourselves, what happen with the students of English? Are we really interesting into know something about one of the culture whose language we are going to teach? We invite you to think about it, and learn a little bit more about this and other cultures related to the English language!
Finally! We hope you have enjoyed the videos!
