 Re: Culture Class
One problem that I've had with culture classes is that I like to look at culture kind of critically. Students here in China don't have a lot of experience with critical thinking, so I sometimes get blank stares if I ask things deeper than "What movie do you like?"
Instead of asking them their thoughts, opinions or experience with critical issues directly, I've had a bit more success by making it very personal. For example, I describe a situation in my own life that relates to the issue and then ask them for advice.
Take care,
Dave
