File docx 728KB

This interactive session will discuss the differences of American and Chinese classrooms. With more international students coming to American classroom, teachers are facing the challenges of motivating Asian (e.g. Chinese) students to participate in the class and fuse together students from different culture. This session will analyze in details how different the students are in class preparation, in-class and after-class study. At the end of this session, there will be a short open discussion on sharing strategies of effectively managing mixed-culture classroom.
