Oh what can I say of my first day in Leuven. I was really scared. Don't know what to do. Don't know where I'm going. My first lesson what how to teach with a multicultural class. I was very frightened when I came in the classroom. The pupils were all so different, different style, different point view,... I was a little bit shocked when I heard some things about multiclturality. But it don't matter it's only the first day. In the afternoon we had to work in groups of 6. I met 5 pupils all following different options in Groep T. It was really funny. They were really friendly. I have to make several works with this group. So I'm really happy that I have found a friendly group. tommorow I'll work with this group. I hop we'll learn more about each other. Oh I also met my new English teacher. Physically he's a mix of Taiti Bob ( The Simpsons) and Charlie Chaplin. He seems really nice. And you boys and girls, how is it going?
See you soon

goeie reis en leerrijk verblijf (Vlaanderen en buitenland
Van ganser harte wens ik jullie allen een superleuk verblijf in je hogeschool in Brussel of Vlaanderen of in het buitenland.Ik vergeet jullie niet; vandaag wist ik dat jullie je examen cultuur hadden en ik heb bijzonder veel aan jullie gedacht.
Voor jullie allen is het een nieuw leven dat begint: in Brussel, Leuven of Mechelen of in het buitenland, Nederland, Engeland, Ierland of Cyprus... Misschien ben ik iets vergeten... Jullie zullen het vertellen. Ik wens jullie een bijzonder mooi verblijf, dat jullie allen met bijzonder mooie en leerrijke herinneringen zouden terugkomen.
Voor degenen die in het buitenland verblijven, is het wel moeilijk bij het begin want je bent ver van België maar nadien zullen jullie het werkelijk niet betreuren want het is een enige ervaring.
Met mij gaat het beter... Ik hunker naar mijn terugkeer op school maar ik moet aan de dokters gehoorzamen. "Na lijden komt verblijden..."
Een bijzonder mooi verblijf in België of in het buitenland.Jullie foto staat op mijn tafel... Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor alles
Met mijn allervriendelijkste groeten aan jullie allen en een dikke zoen.
Ch.Van de Putte.

aloha!
Well, as the situation is a bit starting to get out of hand on the blog, I'm going to start writing about my Comenius experience, the truth is I already went twice to Zeist. The first time was by train to visit my school & meet my coteachers; the second time was by car with my lovely parents to visit my soon to be room. All went great, I'm already going to pick up some free piano lessons with my landlady's son. I'm really really excited! And the landlady also gave me a bicycle, so I'm all set for some months of teaching ^^
Peace out!

Class Blog
Intercultural awareness and exchange
You will all be away soon, either in a different country or in a different school in the Flemish part of Belgium… You’ll meet new people, you’ll experience new things, and you’ll discover a new culture. Let’s take this wonderful opportunity to exchange our experiences and share our feelings…in a class blog, so that we will keep in touch!
Therefore, you have to write , each in turn and according to the list given by your teachers, minimum 8 lines – in English of course – once every month.
You will be assessed on:
· the respect of timing
· the grammar
· the spelling
· the vocabulary
· and the style of your writing
It goes without saying that you can add pictures, if you want ….We trust you to put decent ones on the blog, however, as everyone can have access to it…
Here are the topics:
February:
You have just arrived in your new school, be it in another country or in the Flemish part of Belgium. Which were your feelings the day before leaving Belgium / going to the new school? And which were your impressions on the very first day you arrived in your new environment? Did you feel welcome? Did you meet people? Who? How was this first meeting?…
March:
You have now spent a month there… Which were the difficulties you encountered? What was easy for you? Was it what you really expected to experience? Tell us more about your expectations. Has your relationship with the people there evolved? Tell us more about what is expected from you (courses to follow, lessons to give, work, etc.)
April:
What have you learnt about the culture of the country / area of Belgium you are staying in? Are there major differences / similarities with your own culture? Which ones? Did you experience a ‘culture clash’? How can you deal with the cultural differences? How does it influence your knowledge of the language(s) you will teach later?
May:
Your experience is reaching - or has reached - the end…What are your feelings? What have you learnt? What do you think of this experience? If you had to do it again, would you? Why (not)? What would you change if you could? Do you think you have changed? How will it influence your way of teaching? What, in your opinion, will you always keep in your memory?
