Lunch and Conversation!
Posted by Carina BlackwellRecently, our seventh and eighth grade language students went on a lunch field trip!
The purpose of this trip was to practice their language skills outside of the classroom, and to have a better understanding of the culture. The Spanish students went to an authentic, Columbian restaurant where they ordered their food in Spanish, and even tried to do the traditional dance. Meanwhile, Mandarin students went to an authentic Sichuan cuisine restaurant to experience the culture. They were not only there to place an order in Mandarin, but also to try to start a conversation with the staff.
All the language students were engaged and motivated to participate in this wonderful journey, in a realistic environment. They should be all proud of themselves for speaking a foreign language and not being afraid of making mistakes. It’s all about learning to become comfortable when speaking, and learning that you really can do it!
