Week 2: United Kingdom Introduction
Friday, September 18th, 2009This 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)”
This week’s lesson covered units 1 & 2 from the textbook which is an Introduction to the United Kingdom. We covered just some of the basics, we’ll go over some of the more fine details over the next several weeks as we take a deeper look at the UK.

This week in my class, “The Society and Culture of Major English-Speaking Countries ( 英语国家社会与文化入门 ), we had our mid-term group project reports. Each group came up with a list of stereotypes that Chinese often have about Americans or America in general. From that list of stereotypes, I chose one and the group chose one and those two stereotypes became the basis for a research project.
