CULTURAL MOMENT

It is very important to try different recipes, specially when you have a multicultural group of learners.

We had a very good surprise during one session. Polish people had prepared Bigo and Mayonese and they also brought chocolate to celebrate "women's international day". It was a very pleased moment that included a short film presentation about Poland, and some songs.

This is all about learning another language. We learn about local culture, typical food, and habits.

The group had the iniciative to plan the session in English.

Finally, to celebrate one of participant's birthday, a home cake was served. It was absolutely delicious!!!

Congratulations!!!

CONNECTIONS

If you want to learn a foreing language, open your heart and your mind to integrate a new community. It includes cultural knowledge as simple as greetings.

E.g.

Connect que questions and the answers:

A- Could you pass me the salt please? 1-Yes, I did.
B-What are you doing? 2-Of course. Here it is.
C-Would you like some coffee? 3-I am taking a shower.
D-Did you go to the club yesterday? 4-Yes, please.
E-Have you got a car? 5-No, I haven't.

Answers: A-2; B-3; C-4; D-1; E-5


You can work on the subject you are teaching at the moment. Use pictures to estimulate the brain and facilitate the learning process through different learning styles.

FIND YOUR PARTNER

It is a very good icebreaker to prepare some cards with different descriptions about several profiles.

Eg:

I am creative and active. I like any kind of activity outdoors. I walk about one hour everyday. I don't like to watch TV, but I love reading and surfing on the Internet.

I am a very quiet person. I don't like to listen to music aloud, but I enjoy cooking. I am always looking for some new recipes.

You need one profile for each participant. They get a card, read it and try to find someone who has the most similar habits, talking to everyone in the class.

It is very interesting!!!!!!!
