 Re: Xmas and culture
Wow you live in Suwon Jenni? I live about 30 mins from there. I live in Pyeongtaek (평택). I have been to Suwon now and then for shopping and to the immigration centre to get my F2 Visa.
Anyhow, we had a Halloween party to get the kids interested into Halloween and get them to learn something. I understand that you may teach at a Christian school, but the real part of learning a language is to learn the culture. People are unable really to learn one without the other. So for students that is why I introduce themes each week and get the students to enjoy their studies as well as have party now and then.
I hope that you will be able to persuade management that language acquisition consists with understanding culture and an open mind.
Anyways, there have been no problems with parties I have organised in the past. I am not teaching any carols but have them playing in the background so students absorb it whilst they are doing some classroom activities. |
