Language and Identity (8.2.2011)

Tasks:
1. Language portraits
2. Chosen picture

3. Color poem

Under kind leardership of Karen or rather cooperation with her we painted our language portraits illustrating our attitude and feelings toward certain languages we speak or know. Next task was to create a color poem containing 5 lines, each with certain number of words. See examples at the end. After that divided into groups we discussed what we´ve made and explained why together with talking about meanings of given colours and their inpact on our feelings.
During the last part of this lesson we went through topics of the Intercultural competence (step a side and have a look at your own culture, tolerance, acceptance, willing to get new impression, open-minded, knowledge, language competence, empathy, knowing the rules of behaviour, adaptability... these were few important thinks of the intercultural competence).
