Sharing Cultures and Making Friends!
Moving to a new school can be very difficult to any student and if we think about moving to another country with a new culture and language that could create a huge amount of stress and uncertainty for anyone. That is why it’s so important to make all students feel comfortable and valued in our schools. All of our students come with a story and it’s important to hear them when there ready to share it.
One of the first activities that we are working on this year in the ESL classroom is making autobiographies of our students. While working on this activity the students use Cooperative Kagan Structures of Learning to make sure that everyone gets the chance to share who they are, where they are coming from, share information about their family and friends, what they are interested in and future plans. While using Cooperative Kagan Structures of Learning the students learn a second language without even thinking of how they are covering the four components of language learning (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing).
The students had a lot of fun learning about each other’s autobiographies. They even started asking questions that were not in the autobiographies to know more about each other’s cultures and interesting lives. A very important part of this project besides covering all four components of language was that by sharing their biographies they found out that they have so many things in common even though they are from different parts of the world. After this project I felt that the students were able to view each other as someone they can relate to and see everyone as a friend, because now they know that someone cares about their stories.
