More about Britain
A Teacher's Guide to Customs and
Ceremonies of Great Britain


Author: Ursula Schäfer
Illustrations: Dieter Müller

Intercultural learning is an inherent part of foreign language learning and together with the English language, students also learn about the way-of-life in Great Britain.

Learning about customs and ceremonies of another country is very motivating for young English students because
  • they like to find similarities and to compare with their own way-of-life
  • they are interested to learn more and even things that grown-ups around them do not know
  • it gives them a background for memorizing new vocabulary
