Miss Trudy Herft, University of Sri Jayewardenepura Purpose:
The
general purpose of our project is to encourage students to learn and
appreciate how other cultures have innate connections with their own
across historical differences and language barriers. They should learn
these connections through showing the traditional performing arts they
have actively practiced in their respective countries. Moreover, they
are expected to exchange their views on these matters with foreign
students through a television conference. The presentation of their
arts, views, and discussions obviously will not take place in completely
flawless, standardized English but with an English language flavored
with the indigenous cultural influences of the studentsf respective
countries.
Plan:
In the joint project between your university and ours, a group of three
to five students will be required to film their performing arts and upload
its video file to YouTube by the end of February. After reviewing the video,
each group should make a twenty-minute summary of their discoveries as
well as their own arts, and send their summary file (preferably PDF version
of PowerPoint file) by March 22. In this process, teachers will supervise
and help to improve the quality of their English summary. They will
then present their summary in a TV conference, followed by a forty-minute
discussion between the Sri Lankan and Japanese students. The prospective
date of the TV conference is from 15:00 to 17:00 (11:30-13:30 Sri Lanka
Standard Time) Wednesday, March 27, 2012.
