Course Description

Students will learn about and prepare oral presentations of a foreign culture of their choice. The cultural presentations will be performed for community organizations in the surrounding area to teach people about countries around the world. This course replaces TESL 1151 and TESL 1152.

Justification

Educated students need to know about the world around them. Since the majority of the Snow College students have been raised in mono-cultural circumstances, this course is a step in helping them become better global citizens, avoid xenophobia, and appreciate the varieties of culture throughout the world. This course is required for completion of the certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language.

Student Learning Outcomes

  1. Students will gain a deeper appreciation for their own culture and the other cultures represented in the class.
  2. Students will develop and understanding of the history, customs and values of a world culture through readings and research.

Course Content

Through planning and giving presentations to various public groups, students learn about the culture they are going to present and learn to discern the differences and commonalities between the behaviors, policies, and artifacts of other cultures and their own culture.
