Cómo enseñar a través de los mitos. La Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literaturaen una fábula alegórica

Abstract

The aim of this article is to try to give a view about teaching using myths. Including some as a tool in the area of the Teaching of Language and Literature, we intend to offer an alternative to make a better education. From our point of view, myths are still present in our society, and it is possible to teach some aspects of life through them. We will try to give a view using myths in modern times, making the analysis of their manifestations in arts, their relationship with stereotypes, and above all, searching for suggestions which help teachers to improve education. All this will be developed from the critical paradigm of education and considering communication as the starting point of all human activity. We will examine myths as a transmission tool of ideas, feelings and explanations of reality.
