A new dimension to language teaching

Monday, October 24, 2011
Today is Chennai´s “D” day, the day of our presentation. We got to Sudha´s school, PSBB, KKN. After a meeting with a principal of the school, we were introduced to the school community through the school radio. Following this presentation, we were invited to observe a Language class. It was about the analysis of a poem. It was amazing to see how well all the students behaved and the teacher´s mastery to conduct the class. They were eager to participate and performed a short play for us. As part of the show one of the girls, painted Aurelia´s hand in a very creative way using a product called henna, a kind of ink  which can last for several days.
Next, we attended a Geography class on Argentina, where we interacted with the students who were eager to participate and ask questions about our country, it was a very nice experience to be talking and explaining  about personal experience.



This midday “A New Dimension to Language Teaching” was presented and we  were introduced as resource teachers, we spoke about our activities in the States and after that we had our great performance as course tutors on webquests, which was coordinated in an  outstanding way!






It was amazing to see how all teachers paid attention and participated in the workshop. 
Later that night we visited Sashi, another former DAT member, and her family where we learned a lot about their wedding customs and ceremonies.
