Entry # 5: Cultural encounters (Dec. 5 - Dec. 12)









Cultural observation

In James Lyng High School some posters and some paintings are on some wall. They

are done by students, I think. I don't hear a music and I don't see the people read a

newspapers. I don't know for holidays like: St Jean or Thanksgiving day but for Christmas

the students and the teachers feel so excited to relax during two week. I know some people

will just relax and other people will go to see their family. I don't hear something very

precisely about your celebration Christmas. I have been exposed to vary culture

like; Hispanophones, Haitien or Francophone.


Type of English I have been exposed

I hear an informal language by student but it was very vulgar language. I don't want to

repeat this words. A time I writing a letter for parents or tutors of students. My host

appreciated that. No, I don't had oppurtinity to use some idioms from my class notes.
 
 
 
 
 
Words, expressions or structures

In my internship I learn some words like office. The Anglophones don't say an administration

like the Francophone. They say an office. I learn too the word mark. It's signifiant a notes in

a report of student. In French we say a note but in English he don't signifiant the same

things and I learn report too. It's a bulletin in French. Last word I learn it's binder. It's a

classeur in French. This words can help me in future because I want to work in a desk then

the words are most of time to use in desk.

Rewards and challenges

In my internship I had most difficulty with my accent. Because when I speak in English I

have difficulty to speak very well and with the good prononciation. I have difficulty too with

the names of students. Sometimes I need to go in class and call a student but most of time

the people don't understand the name I call. My best part is when I am with the teachers.

Because I can talk with them and I can see how High School is.
