Dalton Mandarin Students Video Chat with Taiwanese Counterparts
Students of the course "Chinese History through Stories" had a conversation with counterpart high school students in Taiwan in Ms. Cindy Wu's class on March 17, 2017. Each Dalton student logged into a shared Google Hangout account to video chat with a Taiwanese high school student. Our students spoke Mandarin to introduce our school and the Dalton Plan, New York City, and their hobbies/ families, and the Taiwanese high school students spoke both Mandarin and English to also introduce their schools, cities, and personal interests.
At the end, the Taiwanese high school students were asked to report what they learned from our students, and the Dalton students were asked to write a feedback form about what they talked about during the conversations and how they felt after the video chatting. It seemed that everyone had a great time!
