…. real deep learning which involved the fundamentals of … language and student participation in the construction of their own knowledge through the creation of a truly inclusive environment which allowed everybody to be visible, valued and respected for their unique individuality. This course was the best chance to enable and encourage students to be curious about others and engage in respectful discussion with other people and explore different ways to learn about … culture.
