Resumen

This work analyzes the life of televangelist preacher Jimmy Swaggart, considered by many people a wolf in a sheep s clothing for his personal experiences. It gives us a guideline to present and teach vocabulary about moral values. In Chapter one, we want to clarify some important concepts about Jimmy Swaggart s congregation, such as televangelism. We also present some important facts about the history of televangelism in American culture and the history of the media; it is a good idea to mention something about the social and structural origins of televangelism; in this Chapter we also make a brief summary of some controversies about televangelism which had a great impact on American people s lives. Chapter two of our work is about the most remarkable events in Jimmy Swaggart s biography, such as family and marriage and his beginnings as a pastor in televangelism; the controversies, scandals and criticism he got involved in are also treated. Other points of this part let to know the first Swaggart s scandal and his confession of his sin in 1988; and his third and final scandal in 1991. In the third and final Chapter, we identify the five Moral Values which we are going to present our students; some strategies which we are going to use with each one of the four skills based on Jimmy Swaggart s history life; finally, we present the development of the chosen strategies involving the four skills.
