Yesterday was the first cultural workshop. I really enjoyed meeting Rosana, Ahmed, & Mohammed. The questions we were given to discuss were interesting and helped shape the group discussion. Having to answer specific questions provided a good environment for getting to know others and learning about other cultures. I've had several conversation partners before and while it was a great experience, I also enjoyed the structure of the cultural workshop as a change. The only thing I would change for next week is to have less TEFL students in the group. There were 4 TEFL students and only 3 CIES students and so I think that we ended up talking a lot about American culture, and I would have liked to hear more from the CIES students. It was a good experience, though, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
