Well this was my last week of my internship. This week's classes we had the women present their families or explain a recipe in English. We had prepared an outline of what we expected from them along with some examples. We tried to incorporated everything we had taught them these last few months into this project. The women had been nervous for this final assignment. Many would say to us, "how do you expect us to present in English when we can't speak the language." We told them to check their notes, all that they needed, we had already taught them. We made sure to allocate class time for the women to work on their assignments and ask us for help. When we weren't around campus, many women took the initiative to ask the other interns/teachers, Denise, Elisabeth and Rian, to correct their written work and pronunciation.
On Wednesday and Friday, the women presented their project to the class. Despite all of them being nervous all week, many of the women did a great job. Here are just some of the creative work they did:
This was a very satisfying assignment. It was a test to see if we had done an effective job of teaching the women English. Based of these presentations, I would say yes we did :). Here's Denise and Rian presenting their families in English to the class, great drawings guys:
love the photos! I tried doing a similar final project, but many of the students simply didnt have "time" I should have done what you two did and allocated some in-class time for the projects, intsead of teach songs haha... but the singing was fun.
