Why mandarine ? ... "What surprised him was that it was nothing he thought of, but rather a piece of fresh fruit - a mandarine. The taste of it was very refreshing; and then all of a sudden the girl was gone. She danced away and she never ever came back. "

Class Blog : Intercultural awareness and exchange
You will all be away soon, either in a different country or in a different school in the Flemish part of Belgium… You’ll meet new people, you’ll experience new things, and you’ll discover a new culture. Let’s take this wonderful opportunity to exchange our experiences and share our feelings…in a class blog, so that we will keep in touch!
Therefore, you have to write , each in turn and according to the list given by your teachers, minimum 8 lines – in English of course – once every month.
You will be assessed on:
· the respect of timing
· the grammar· the spelling
· the vocabulary
· and the style of your writing
It goes without saying that you can add pictures, if you want ….We trust you to put decent ones on the blog, however, as everyone can have access to it…
Here are the topics:
February:
You have just arrived in your new school, be it in another country or in the Flemish part of Belgium. Which were your feelings the day before leaving Belgium / going to the new school? And which were your impressions on the very first day you arrived in your new environment? Did you feel welcome? Did you meet people? Who? How was this first meeting?…
March:
You have now spent a month there… Which were the difficulties you encountered? What was easy for you? Was it what you really expected to experience? Tell us more about your expectations. Has your relationship with the people there evolved? Tell us more about what is expected from you (courses to follow, lessons to give, work, etc.)
April:
What have you learnt about the culture of the country / area of Belgium you are staying in? Are there major differences / similarities with your own culture? Which ones? Did you experience a ‘culture clash’? How can you deal with the cultural differences? How does it influence your knowledge of the language(s) you will teach later?
May:
Your experience is reaching - or has reached - the end…What are your feelings? What have you learnt? What do you think of this experience? If you had to do it again, would you? Why (not)? What would you change if you could? Do you think you have changed? How will it influence your way of teaching? What, in your opinion, will you always keep in your memory?
