CP Meeting #1 (1/15/2014)
On Thursday I went to Ramin
Yazdanpanah’s listening and culture class. I met and spoke with several ESL
students.
The meetings were comprised partly of informal conversation and partly of ESL students asking the TEFL students prepared questions about their backgrounds. The questions produced some interesting conversation, but I found that the informal conversation just aimed at getting to know each other with basic questions like “where are you from?” and “what do you want to study?” led to more productive and interesting conversation .

My conversation partners consisted
of two Saudis, two Kuwaitis, a Chinese girl and a young man from Chad. Each
person seemed to have a slightly different shade of cultural outlook.
Conversation largely centered around school, cultural differences, traditions
and plans for the future. Everything was very pleasant, though I didn’t really
know how to answer “In your opinion, what is the BEST culture?” I had fun, and
I’m looking forward to the next one.
