English Speaking Countries - Cultural Studies

When you study English you need to learn about the worlds English speaking countries.

The purpose of the assignment is to study culture in English speaking countries by finding facts and making presentations in smaller groups.

You have just won a trip for two and will be leaving Sweden on Friday and you will visit two English speaking countries.

Choose from:

- Australia
- New Zealand
- United Kingdom
- United States
- Canada
- Ireland

When you get back from your trip we would like to know about your trip in class.

Please make an interesting presentation about the countries you visited and let us know about your experiences. Make your presentation in form of a diary.

Do not focus on facts and numbers, the main aspect is to learn more about history and culture, also try to find some fun facts and reveal some things you think we do not know. 

Mandatory aspects to look at:

*History 
*What to see and do (what would you do if you were there?)
*Language and accents 
*Food
*Sports


Use keywords or mindmaps during your presentation which should be approximately 5 minutes long. You will be expected to present your trip to the class on Tuesday September 6th.

You can work on your own or in pairs. You will not hand anything in, only oral presentation using google presentations and other aids such as pictures and videos.
