There are several things that I expect from this course:
- I expect that I will get to know about different cultures and their approach to English learning and teaching. I believe that the methods of teaching and learning defer a lot from country to country, due to their cultural differences, which effect teaching and learning in general.
- Furthermore, I hope that we will learn about aspects that influence learning English in different countries. I guess some of the main indicators are the native language used and the cultural behavior. However, I hope to get to know more about it and recognize other aspects that influence learning and teaching English.
- I also expect that we will learn about how to deal with the cultural differences between countries, so that we will be prepared for it as future English teachers. I believe that many problems and misunderstandings start in lack of understanding each others culture, habits and behavior.
- Besides that, I expect to get to know ways of introducing the culture of a country that uses English as a native language (U.S. or Great Britain).
- I look forward to getting to know more about the cultures that are represented by the students attending this class as well.
