Day 1 (Tuesday) – Austria – Interactive presentation about Austrian culture, geography, and top tourist sites. Learners will also take a virtual vacation based on an itinerary provided.  

Students will also vote on the country they wish to travel to on Day 3 (the teacher will narrow the list of options to the more tourist friendly countries, with a write in option if a student has an interest in one not on the list)

Day 2 (Wednesday)  – France – Interactive presentation on French culture, geography, and potential tourist attractions.  Students will work in small groups (or as individuals if they prefer) to develop a draft itinerary for a trip to France. 

Day 3 (Thursday) – TBD based on voting in Day 1 – Interactive presentation on the county’s culture and geography.  Students will work in small groups (or as individuals if they prefer) to research tourist attractions to prepare and present a draft itinerary for a trip. 

For all three days, the interactive presentation will include the following topics:
• Information on where to do internet research on travel basics (money, climate, language, visa requirements, immunization), and tourist sites.
• Significant elements of culture which might influence vacation planning (language, food, religion, holidays, literature, entertainment, societal norms). 
• Pictures, music, and videos (most from the instructor’s experience)to present the key aspects of culture.

I am happy to consider scheduling additional sections (or countries from United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine). Feel free to email me a couple of times that would be better for you. Requests that come with multiple learners who want to take the class together will be given priority.
