Classroom Discipline Across Cultures

by Eric Paul Monroe on Jun.26, 2009, under Virtual Classroom

Virtual ClassroomDiscuss about power distance betweeen the teacher and student from your native culture. How would a student or teacher solve a non-academic problem in and out of the classroom. What exactly is the person in the role as teacher allowed to do as far as classroom discipline is concerned. Does a difference exist based on gender discrimination, and if so, please elaborate as much as possible.  If you have experience abroad, please describe, to the best of your ability, what you have witnessed first-hand or what you have learned from a secondary source. What advice would you offer foreign students planning on studying in your home country?

  • Watch the video.
  • Compose between 5-8 sentences based upon your life experiences.

Movies for Language Learning

by Eric Paul Monroe on Jun.16, 2009, under Virtual Classroom

Virtual ClassroomWatching movies reinforces linguistic acquisition skills. To find actual US television channels, please visit my Culture page and utilize the drop down menu in the top right-hand corner. If you currently find yourself outside of the United States, you will more than likely need to use a proxy server to view selected streaming videos. Otherwise, take advantage of a tracking site to view soap operas, situational comedies, and films.

Improve your knowledge of native English speaking countries’ cultures as well as English dialectal manifestations of rhythm and intonation through authentic content.
