Another visit to yesterday's activity. After our morning walk to the market and then through the park, the afternoon was time for me to give a lecture at the university. Each of the foreign teachers are required to give a lecture lasting about an hour and a half during the fall term.
My lecture was about body language or non-verbal language. Maureen's lecture, in December, will be about multi-cultural Canada. Both of our lectures are based on photos. I used photos from Changzhou. Obviously, Maureen will be using photos from Canada.
Of course, both of us like to have the students in the audience do talking as well. It prevents them from getting too sleepy while it saves our throats from getting too sore. Besides getting the students and teachers involved in the lecture answering questions, it allows us to make sure that what we say actually is understood, at least at a basic level. Of course, since all are just learning English, likely a lot of what one says is not understood. That is why we use photos in the presentations.
