A. Watch

The video below shows the steps to make linopot, a traditional Kadazandusun-Murut dish. It is made by teachers of SK Kebayau to introduce traditional food of Sabah to their partner school in Japan.

B. Discuss

Is this video a culturally responsive teaching material? Why or why not?

How can you make it better or more suitable for your students?

Can the video be used to teach any topic or section in the current Malaysian CEFR-aligned textbooks? 
  • If yes, which topic / section?
  • What lesson activities would be suitable?
