Metodologies

	Descripció
Activitats Introductòries	Students will be given a short questionnaire with traditional cultural clichés about American life and institutions. After that, the questions will be jointly discussed in class in an attempt to prepare the students for the information they will receive throughout the course, and which tey may find slightly disconcerting.
Sessió Magistral	Lectures will focus on the topics included in the textbook. They will highlight the main areas or the most difficult points. Alternatively, they may also include references to cultural landmarks or people
Presentacions / exposicions	These one-hour presentations will be delivered in small groups. The topics will have been agreed upon previously, and students are expected to provide information on specific topics, but also to show their ability to speak in public, keep the audience's interest, manipulate IT, etc.
