material traits of a racial, religious, or social group;
Channel 05 also: the characteristic features of everyday existence
(as diversions or a way of life) shared by people in a
Channel 06
place or time.

However, the small things things are just

Channel 03 the tip of the iceberg-they are only the
things we can see on the surface.
Channel 04 There are many parts of culture that aren't
visible; like most of an iceberg. These
include: Importance of Time Religious
Channel 05
Beliefs Work Ethic Values Nature of
Friendships
Channel 06 Because these differences aren't visible
they are very difficult to communicate and
Channel 07 understand.
Despite this, the parts of culture we cannot
Home 00 Menu
see are very important because they
Channel 08
underpin the parts of culture we can see.

Channel 05 way of doing something-how is it done in another country?

Channel 06 3. Think about what you can learn from other students, and what you
can teach them.

Channel 08
discussing a picture that had the 'London Eye' in it. One student
01 02 03 proceded to write down the name of the London Eye in their book.
However instead of writing 'eye' the student wrote 'air'. How might

You would use simple words they

Channel 03
knew. You most probably won't need
to simplify to this level with your
Channel 04 buddy, but this is a helpful way of
illustrating the language barrier.
Channel 05

Channel 06 Simplifying your language is not easy. It takes time and

practice. You may even feel a little silly. However,
Channel 07 simplifying your language when appropriate will help your
Home 00 Menu buddy understand, which will in turn increase their
Channel 08 confidence speaking English.
