I chose this photo because it highlights an aspect of the Balian culture. As I have mentioned in the past, I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I use pictures like this in my French classes at Holt High School. While teaching French (or any language), I think it is important to teach culture as well. Pictures like this helps to illustrate the culture behind the language. One way that I bring this into my classroom is by illustrating Francophone life. Most students come to French classes only thinking about France. Through literature, photos, music and dance, I can show them the diversity of French language (diversity of dialects) and culture. In fact, I give an assignment where they are responsible for teaching their peers about Francophone country that shows the similarities and difference of life in France. Students are often amazed by the various nations where French is spoken and the diversity of the culture that is often highlighted in music, dance and food. They are allowed to be creative with their illustrations. Of course, pictures speak volumes to their learning and growth.
