| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...?) |
Teacher: "Good morning, everyone. I want to start with a 'What if...?' question. What if you moved to a new country tomorrow and discovered that a common, polite gesture from your home country was considered very rude there? Think for 30 seconds. Who would like to share a possible scenario?" - Listens to 3-4 student responses. - Bridges to the topic: "These are all excellent points about cultural differences. It reminds us of the proverb 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Today, we'll explore how to understand these cultural rules and how to communicate appropriately within them, both formally and informally." |
- Students listen to the question. - Think individually. - Volunteer answers. Possible responses: • "What if giving a thumbs-up was an insult?" • "What if making direct eye contact was disrespectful?" • "What if being late was a sign of respect?" - Listen to the teacher's introduction. |
Oral formative assessment: Observing student engagement and the relevance of their hypothetical scenarios to the topic of cultural norms. | - Projector/Screen for displaying the "What if..." question. - AI Tool: ChatGPT to generate diverse, engaging "What if..." scenarios on cultural differences to prompt discussion. |
