Resource description:
The web links below cover aspects of Vietnamese culture including status of the individual, social relationships, value system, family structure, religion, diet and communication.
Teaching and learning ideas:
Students choose one topic from the list below. Students read the suggested material and then carry out further research of their own. Students use the intercultural communication question cards (observes, inquires, compares) at http://interculturalcommunicationkit.weebly.com/question-cards.html to make observations and compare the target culture with their own experiences. Students complete one of the graphic organisers provided under Culture capsules at http://interculturalcommunicationkit.weebly.com/teaching-strategies.html and present their findings to the class.
