Culture as coursework
Attend, observe, use the language, reflect.
Cultural activities are not simply excursions. The teacher prepares a language objective and evidence task before the activity, then uses homework and discussion afterwards to turn the experience into learning.
- Prepare key vocabulary and respectful questions.
- Observe language, behaviour, signs, services and context.
- Separate what you saw from what you assume.
- Complete a reflection, comparison, interview, map, photo essay or presentation.
- Receive language and intercultural feedback.
Possible cultural learning
Events and experiences.
Activities depend on the city, arrival dates, climate, weather, safety, accessibility and what is genuinely happening. The teacher confirms realistic formats during the first days of class.
