I found this unit simple, yet at the same time difficult. It was easy in the sense that many things come naturally to me in the classroom and I thought they were common sense. For example, the uses of eye contact, gestures, and physical presence in the classroom to convey involvement, better understanding, and command attention, respectively. Though the uses are far more complex than what I mentioned, I easily understood each. What I found difficult were things that were a bit more subjective--how to deal with behavioral problems. This is something I struggle with while working in Japan, since there are more subtle social cues for disapproval than I realized. I found at times the teachers would approach me after class apologizing that the kids were so bad today, and while I thought it was a reasonable class and wasn't frustrated, my longer pauses and tone of voice may have conveyed annoyance. I am learning by asking teachers what ways to control classes are best, asking for more input from them during the lesson, and focusing on overcoming this cultural difference.
