Saturday 1:30 - 2:20 PM
Culture in the Classroom 2 - Vocabulary Activities
William Holden, JALT

This workshop, which immediately follows Culture in the Classroom 1, encourages participants to help their students to examine the assumptions they hold about their own culture and the ways in which these assumptions may color their perception of members of other cultures.  Vocabulary is an important part of this introspection, because words for expressing values should be familiar to students before the start of cultural awareness activities.  Various examples of worksheets, vocabulary and proverb lists, ways to brainstorm and to organize thoughts
into a cultural matrix will be explored.
