| Self-introduction
The goal of this
class is very simple: to have the students use the language and get to know
more about other cultures. Thanks to Professor Meei-ling Liaw and her
assistant, Jessica, I got to invite three international students of NTCU, Jacklyn, Joyce, and Rachel, to come to my class and do cultural exchange
about Malaysian food, tourist attractions, and traditional costumes. The agenda
is stated as follows:
|
1. Pep talk.
Briefly introduce the purpose of learning English and what we want to achieve
today.
2. Malaysian
volunteers' self-introduction.
3. Musical Chairs.
To make it more fun and interactive, those who fail to grab a chair to sit down
in will have to share a fact he or she can remember.
4. Learning
Centers. Based on three topics about Malaysia, my students divided into three
groups rotate through the three centers
led by Malaysian volunteers. Before moving on to the next one,
self-introduction, Malaysian cultural significance, follow-up questions and
free talk will all be covered.
5. Wrap-up.
Briefly, recap what we learned today from those volunteers' perspective and my
students'. Reiterate the importance of being able to use the language.
As usual, my
students were quite shy in the first ten minutes or so. Then, there were smiles
and laughter before long. The content those volunteers prepared were
abundant yet very educational given the
relatively short period of time we had. Interesting questions were asked in
each learning center. The original design included World Cafe and Musical
Chairs, but I changed the plan a little bit on the spot because the top
priority was to complete all the three topics.
