Culture in 101
I keep thinking about this question. What is the connection I can establish between my students and i in the beginning level of language class? In the class, there are limited langauge inputs, fewer meaningful contents, and almost no fansy pattern of interation except repetition and drills. If I insist there is possible meaningful culture communication in the classroom, what is it about then?...

Can you increase the amount of nonverbal inclusions in the interaction in this class so that there are cues beyond language use that can help to support the communicative exchanges? I am thinking about pictures and actions and pantomines - things like that which can allow you to connect by augmenting the linguistic expressions with other nonlinguistic accroutements.
