Dear AD student,
Welcome to Spring ARW, this is Owen, your teacher this semester. I am looking forward to meeting you on Monday. This message is going to your ICU email and to the ARW Homepage.
I am sending this because we missed class yesterday, and if you did not do any homework this weekend it would make next week much more difficult for you. In other words, your work does not disappear, you would just have more to do in less time. This is a very busy term, you will read about one text per week, compared to just two texts for first semester - there is a lot more
reading.
So this weekend I want you to do your very best to read and annotate (mark) the first text Barna, Stumbling Blocks in Intercultural Communication. You then will lead a discussion session on one part of Barna Wednesday, Friday, or Monday (I will explain what you need to do next class, do not worry now). Therefore, it is important to read the whole of Barna by Monday.
Barna is about 15 pages and I want you to try to finish in about three hours - this works out to be about 12 minutes a page at most. You need to be train yourself to read more quickly than first semester because of the extra amount of reading. On a first reading there will be parts you wont understand, but that is OK because your purpose is to get a general understanding.
If you think you may be the first to get this message, please contact your classmates via keitai and let them know - they will appreciate your concern to let them know.
Sincerely,
Owen James
