Ross CW #1

The first cultural workshop we split into groups split between CIES and TEFL students who we would be talking to over the next few weeks. We were instructed to introduce ourselves and say something’s about our culture and talk a little about where we are from and things we wanted people to know about our home country.

In my group we had two people from the US and one each from Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Ireland. It was very interesting seeing how similar Pakistan and Ireland were compared with Colombia.


We all practiced saying hello in others languages and it I explained that Irish is actually a language distinct to itself and that it’s not called Gaelic. We also talked about how we dress and noticed that most of us wore the same thing no matter where we were from.
