Sharing knowledge


Image result for group meeting
     Yesterday, we had a meeting with all students in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Information Technology (IT). We talked about happiness and goals.  There were a lot of  international students and professors.  Also, some of  the students shared their experiences, and knowledge while the others were listening.  The professors were active in the discussion. Also, we had our pictures taken while we were talking and smiling.  We also had snacks together. I think it was useful because we shared our experiences, practiced English, made friends. It influenced us to know each other and speak and listen to different accents. Also It encouraged shy students to talk.
      Finally, I have some recommendations to improve the meeting.  We should  let the students share in choosing the topic for the discussion. Ask each  student  to write a question and ask the group about their opinions. We should  try to make the meeting informal, and we can start with a story or something funny to let students feel relaxed in the meeting. We should mention the goal of this meeting and explain the benefits.  If any international students want to bring their  food or coffee, we can talk about it. In addition, we should organize the seats to let each one see the others.

Do you have any recommendations to improve the meeting?
