    \n
  • By the end of this recipe, learners will be able to:<\/li>\n
  • Explore a virtual cultural environment and identify key cultural features and vocabulary.<\/li>\n
  • Use target language to describe and discuss what they observe in the virtual tour.<\/li>\n
  • Reflect on cultural similarities and differences and how they relate to their own experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
