Cultural Interchange with Omani Students (2)
High school students from the Sultan’s School in Oman, came to Tachibana
High School with their “products” on Wednesday, June 20, 2007. They had
been preparing their “products” since their meeting with us on Monday,
painting and decorating clocks according to the results from the “marketing
research” at Tachibana High. They consist of four groups, each acting as
a “company” in the project supported by JCCME.
200 first year students of Tachibana High School gathered in the gym to meet 23 high school students from Oman. After watching the presentation to advertise “products” and “companies,” Tachibana students started shopping at the four “shops.” They enjoyed talking with Omani students and buying beautiful clocks using toy money.
They sometimes also experienced the difficulties to communicate in English.
But Omani students had thought out various strategies to promote their
sales and entertain us, making a kind of lottery, writing Arabic letters
on the clocks, or even speaking Japanese! Tachibana students were happy
to have such wonderful friends from Oman!
