Workshop instructors: Josh, 東興國小 and 六家國中 Scott, 竹東國中 Sandy, 竹東國中 Emily, 石光國中 Rainbow, 竹北國中
To save time, we’ll just ask: What is your
name? What school are
you from? What is your
favorite hobby?
Does your ESL book teach much culture to your students?
How are the cultures of Taiwan and the USA different? How are they similar?
Why should we study other cultures in ESL class?
Some problems we’ll try to address: What stereotypes
do students have about other people?
Why do students think English is not important to learn?
How is the world “getting smaller?”
