17. What do you hope to get out of this class?
What are your goals and expectations?
In this second activity, I expect you to be highly challenged. It is okay if
you cannot say much in the 1st step. One of the main objectives of this
activity is to think about what it is like to attempt to
communicate when you face many linguistic limitations.
In this activity, tell me about the following:
What do you hope to get out of this class? What goals and
expectations do you have?
You have only TEN MINUTES to think and YOU cannot use “r” in the
text. Just have fun with this.
