Introducing ourselves to the students

Wednesday 22^nd April, the SHG coordinator, Tahani and I visited the three schools we will work in to introduce the idea of our lessons. Pointing to Australia on a world map, I introduced myself and where I came from, then asked the class which language we spoke in Australia. We then pointed to other countries such as China and Italy and asked which languages they spoke there. After this we clarified with the class that there are more than just one language in the world and different ways to communicate. We then asked the students how people who can’t hear or speak would communicate. They were very good at guessing and genuinely interested in listening to Tahani who told them the subjects we would teach them over the coming months. Tahani seemed confident in the class and I showed the potential to be a great teacher in the future.
