Week 2: New Zealand (Units 1 & 2) Spring ’10
For my students at the Hunan Institute of Science & Technology ( 湖南理工学院 ) who are taking the course: “The Society and Culture of Major English-Speaking Countries ( 英语国家社会与文化入门 ) : An Introduction (Book Two / Second Edition)”
This week’s lesson covered units 1 & 2 from the textbook and the lecture was an overview of New Zealand’s history, politics, major elements of NZ society and unique cultural characteristics. This is the only class we will spend talking about NZ this semester, so if you were absent or didn’t pay very close attention in class, be sure to spend a little extra time reviewing the units in the book and maybe borrow a classmate’s class notes!
