The students use English during the whole process. This activity is appropriate for intermediate and advanced level students.
Teachers can vary the difficulty of the language and tasks involved to fit their classes.
Students watch with the task of observing and recording how Italian, Saudi Arabian and Thai males and females interact with each other. They must also decide what questions are asked and what topics are discussed when meeting strangers. They must also decide if and in what ways men and women in their cultures differ communicatively. Less imaginative students may require some funny or strange examples to inspire their creativity. Place the students in two different rooms, so the groups cannot look at or overhear each other.
