small group presentation
Found that the is less of high risk with foreign students, they seem to participate more in this type of setting.
Hi Kenya,
I love to utilize a variety of teaching methods, such as hands-on activities, role playing, case studies, simulations, scenarios, etc. to keep students excited and interested.

Several studies have shown that students prefer strategies promoting active learning to traditional lectures. Other research studies evaluating the students achievement have demonstrated that many strategies promoting active learning are comparable to lectures in promoting the mastery of content but superior to lectures in promoting the development of students skills in thinking and writing in the group setting.
Hi Curt,
I have not taught may foreingers, but the few that I have taught seem to have a sincere appreciation for learning in general, especially active learning.

Jeff, couldn't agree more. With foreign students it is always a pleasure to teach new topics. They embrace active learning and are extremely motivated. In my experiences over 25 years, this has proven to be the best method for delivering instruction to this audience.
Hi Jeffrey,
Culture difference does dictate if one works better in a group or alone.
