Note: For this online course, I prepared my anticipation guide in English language. (I do adaptation of English resources to Turkish Language course) As you see, the passage is in both languages. I do cover English translations for my students. We do reading in Turkish language. They answer questions and write their reflections in Turkish language. This passage is about Turkish Culture (Hospitality). Hospitality is a general concept for all nations. After this activity, I and my students do have a chance to debate about hospitality.
