Swapping Idioms With a Partner Class

Students share five local idioms or folk sayings with the partner class during a live video call. Together they guess the literal and figurative meanings.

In mixed groups, students work with partner class peers to note where idioms and stories share the same meaning and where they differ. They discuss what the differences reveal about each culture.

Pairs with partner class peers add their idioms, short stories, and explanations to a shared digital collection. They write a short reflection on what the collection teaches about language and culture.

Students present highlights of the shared collection to both classes and reflect on what they learned about intercultural communication. Classes give each other short feedback.
