27 Nov Session 4

Speaking and Listening
Our hosts Yuli, Irene and Rin take us out for dinner tonight. We're both intrigued and amused at the thought of having roast pigeon but the're truly delicious!
Today's lesson focus on public speaking and metaphorical language. We use songs, poetry and games like (blindfolded) obstacle course and "show & tell". These exercises provide the participants with ample opportunities to see English in context and in action. For the listening comprehension component we also introduce inference techniques. Now that the facilitators know the participants a lot better, we're able to communicate our instructions effectively. Strong relationships certainly break all barriers.
