The first day at the University of Arkansas was really wonderful since I met new teaching staff and colleagues from Brazil. It was very useful for me to have such things in order to cope with those new colleagues as well as to get experience from the teaching staff. The very useful thing for me was how to learn new ways of delivering some important information about the present perfect in a very effective way in that each couple is being together and choose an activity to be introduced to the other weather done or not. This kind of presenting a topic is very advantageous for the students to be memorized and practiced in form of communicating language. Thus I liked the idea of presenting the topic by Mrs. Gavin for it I could apply it with my students in the grammar lecture and follow the same game.

Another thing that I liked is that we as Iraqi participants get involved with Brazilian and shared them our experience about teaching by talking with them about the teaching methods that they follow when the teach in Brazil in different schools and organizations. This experience of sharing information was also handy since each one of us could be aware of the most common ways of teaching that the Brazilian teachers follow when they teach.
