Location: Student Lounge at the Hecht House
Topic discussed: TEFL students and CIES students met and discussed their home country and culture in small groups.
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: I was able to talk to two students from Kuwait about their culture. I learned that it is common to great a male friend with kisses to the cheek or a touching of noses. It is, however, not always acceptable to touch females when greeting them. I then shared how it is common in America to greet friends of either sex with a handshake or hug. We also discussed popular holidays in our respective countries.
