| Sumario: | In the last decade, the spread of popular culture has undergone a genuine revolution in terms of format, content, and consumption habits offering new opportunities for teachers to incorporate popular culture into the EFL classroom to make the learning and teaching more interesting and meaningful. Even though popular culture reflects the society and the culture of the target language, the use of these kind of materials in the EFL classroom has been regarded as a mere passive activity, a form of entertainment, or a reward for the students rather than as a tool that enhances learning. Thus, the main aim of this dissertation is to vindicate the use of pop culture in the EFL classroom by analyzing the possibilities that pop culture can offer in EFL teaching and providing a teaching proposal based on Arcane. |
