Hello everybody!
Just wanted to say that this semester my students and I have had rest from TA and formal studying... This can explain my silence here.... Yes, we've been at school and yes, we've written a couple of tests, but.... We spent our time mainly on preparing performances in Chinese for different occasions and on practising Chinese culture during the Month of foreign cultures in our school. So now we know the differences between the Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies, can write poems and paint in Chinese manner, cook Chinese food and sing songs in Chinese. The students are also learning to use online dictionaries and type in Chinese. I've got some ideas for the next semester, we'll see...
