Today's presentation tried to condense a very broad subject into just three hours. It is always challenging for an EFL teacher to respond to students' request to learn more about American culture. That term can mean so many things: our values, customs, traditions, history, and so many others. Our HQU participants certainly have a strong foundation in understanding many aspects of American culture; yet, they were surprised by many things during this, their first visit to the U.S. Bella and I enjoyed listening to their observations and would like to hear more. Let us know what other interesting things you've noticed during your visit here, what intrigued you about our customs and behaviors, and what areas of American culture you would like to know more about.
By the way, here is a website with some useful books about American culture:
