Case Scenario:
Lee comes from China and is beginning his first semester in a
degree at Robertson College. Serge is from Russia. Both spent a lot
of time and money studying English back home so they could pass the
entry requirements for English skills but neither has much
experience listening to or speaking English. Neither studied how
education occurs in Canada.
During the first 3 weeks of class discussions Lee has not
contributed anything. He is uncomfortable whenever the teacher
stops lecturing and opens conversations.
Serge has been giving answers in class. He speaks quite
forcefully sometimes giving 5-7 sentences. The teacher just
responds briefly. This past class, the teacher actually said,
"Let's hear from someone else now."
In week three, the teacher assigns a group report and asks the
class to get into groups of 3-4. Within minutes students have
sorted themselves out and Lee and Serge are without a
group.
Questions:
What do you think has caused Lee's quietness?
What do you think has prompted Serge's involvement?
What pre-verbal, non-verbal, verbal, and post-verbal mismatches
will likely occur throughout this encounter?
Did either party reach the desired outcome for themselves or for
the class?
