We covered units 18 & 19 which touched on Australian politics and the phenomenon known as “whistle-blowing”.  Then we did a quick review of the major topics covered this semester (units 1 – 17).

Week 16: Australia, Politics (Unit 18 – 19 + Review)

This post is 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 One / Second Edition)“

The end of the semester is almost upon us!  It’s amazing how fast time has flown by, it seems as if we were just starting the semester yesterday.  For those who are trying to prepare for the final exam coming up, here are the presentation notes for the past few lectures. (weeks 13 – 15)

Week 13: Australia, The Land & People (Unit 15)

Week 14: Australia, Religion & Worldview (Unit 16)

Week 15: Australia, History / Colonization (Unit 17)

I’ve begun teaching about Australia in my Culture & Society class(es), so far it’s been fun!

G’day mate!
