Blog- Post #2

 I know this says blog post #2 when it is clearly one first and only post on my page thus far, but in following our syllabus and me failing to post what WAS supposed to be the first post on here (which will be coming later) here is blog post #2 two. 

I find learning environments that are diverse and have many cultural differences to be some of the bestenviorments to be in since you are building onto your own knowledge and way of thinking by joining forces with someone else's way of thinking. As a whole my excitement for this kind of investigation might be a smidge higher than most since I recently have started diving into teaching strategies that strictly focus on ELL classrooms. Something that I really took away from reading Dr. Margaret Lieb's article, Culture Distance and Cultural Dimensions in Diverse ELT Environments: A Quantitative Investigation was that with the growth of learning environments with diverse cultural differences comes several different learning and teaching styles, including how having classrooms as such has influenced how preexisting  teaching styles are now taught. I think that focusing on how these teaching styles have both good and bad things about them, as well as how students of different cultures don't always accept the ways of teaching that have existed for years.
