- Discuss the limitations of the approach. (i.e. Multiple
choice exercises are very artificial. Culture determines not
only what we notice and how we interpret it but what we fail to recognize
as well.)
- Show overhead, Critical Incidents and discuss how tutor
trainees may use these in their lessons.
5 minutes
E: Cultural Homework
- Discuss the use of surveys for beginner and advanced learners.
- Refer to the tutor training manual for an example.
- Give trainees
the handout, Getting to Know You: A Tutor- Learner Questionnaire.
- Optional Homework: Have tutor trainees
use the handout to interview Canadian friends. During the next session, discuss
the results and differences that exist between the answers. Reiterate
the idea that culture is not stagnant.
Review of Session 2 (Optional)
Have trainees write their own "critical incident"
for homework.
Preview of Session 3 (Optional)
- Handout, Preview of Session 3 and explain task. Trainees
should answer the questions prior to reading the session and make
changes, as they deem fit, after they have completed the
session.
- During the following session, examine what
answers were changed and why this occurred.
