    COMICS IN QUECHUA TEACHING

    Comic books in Quechua have become an important and innovative teaching


    resource for a language that requires new approaches to achieve its desired
    massification.

    Many claim that the origins of comics go back to Stone Age cave paintings, as
    evidenced by the discoveries that have been made in many places around the
    world. However, comics as such appeared at the end of the 19th century in the
    United States, when the two most important newspapers of the time decided to use
    them to increase their sales.

    From then until today, the comic strip is still in use. There is no newspaper that
    does not include in its pages some comic strip, either of renowned cartoonists or of
    artists who start with some characters that little by little can be accepted by the
    reading public of the written medium.

    Comics and education

    In general, when talking about comics, it is very common to take into account only
    the production received from commercial presses, which are produced and
    distributed with the purpose of obtaining a direct profit on sales.

    However, since comics are an entertainment medium, with a great predominance


    of graphics, which allows the inclusion of texts with a simple language, they have
    also been used for popular education processes.

    Thus, for example, the first educational comic book magazines were published in
    the United States, around 1940, such as True Comics, Real Life Comics and Real
    Fact Comics, and they were anthologies of comic books about famous people from
    world and American history, literary figures and events historics..

    On the other hand, in France, for example, the Larousse publishing house
    achieved great commercial success by publishing "L'histoire de France en BD",
    reaching 600 million copies in just seven years.

    In Brazil, comic strips have also been used for teaching, knowledge transmission,
    dissemination of religious dogmas or for civic purposes, such as the biographies of
    famous figures in Brazilian history.

    Learning languages with comics

    According to what we have referred to above, the use of comics is not only limited
    to entertainment, it is possible to use them for educational purposes, as would be
    the case with language teaching.
    The use of comics for language teaching has great advantages: for students, it
    makes learning easier; for teachers, it provides them with a powerful pedagogical
    tool. In 2007, the conference "The comic book in the teaching of Spanish as a
    foreign language, E/LE" was held in Spain. There, several experiences on the use
    of comics as a tool in the classroom were disseminated and the experiences of
    teachers who had used them to train other teachers in private language academies
    were presented.

    Quechua in the cartoon

    Given this experience of the use of comics for the teaching of Spanish as a foreign
    language, it is possible to do the same in the teaching of Quechua. Even more so if
    additional resources are used, such as adding animation and audio to the
    dialogues in the runasimi.

    In the following link you can see an example of the use of the comic book as a
    didactic resource for the teaching of Quechua. It is a dialogue between three
    characters, on the first day of Quechua class (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
