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.
