The participants: Serra students and Phat Diem students. Their mission: to perform a two minute docudrama about people meeting for the first time. Their objective: to help the Vietnamese students with their pronunciation.
The students worked hard for 30 minutes to come up with a dialogue that would help show off their English pronunciation skills. On the left, Mike, Tino and Nam help Tan with his enunciation.
Carlo, Cooper, and Michael work with Can to bring out the finer points of elocution.
Nhan is explaining to Chris and Evan the finer points of using the Oxford comma.
In the end, all four groups performed and each received a rousing ovation from the overflow audience. All in all, an auspicious beginning to peer teaching.
In the summers I spend time with my good friends in Phat Diem, Vietnam, a small country village with a world famous cathedral. Here are some of my musings. If you would like to correspond, please email me: garymeegan@gmail.com.
