Title: On-line meeting discussion/lecture topics (TEACHERS ONLY)
Course: Study PrepProg - Improve Your English from B1 to B2 Level > Section: Orientation

Basic introductions:
* who are you?
* how long have you been in Finland?
* what have you studied previously?
* what goals do you have for this course?
* how long have you studied English?
* Hobbies? Family, free-time activities, pets etc.

Small talk (this can be either lectured or discussed):

- importance in international communication
- not really a thing in Finland, except of course it is (silence is also OK)
- usually not the best topics: politics, religion, money, too intimate things - in some places, also work
- good topics: food, hobbies, culture, movies, music, television, etc. Even weather!

Small talk exercise:
In break-out rooms, have a 15-20 min small talk session with 3-4 people. Try to get to know each other. Then everybody introduces one person to the other groups (in the main room).
