Assign each student or group one of the ten ASEAN countries to research, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Allow students a week to gather information on their country’s culture, history, economy, and role within ASEAN using library resources, credible online databases, and interviews with natives or diplomats. Instruct students to create visual and oral presentations that highlight the unique aspects of their assigned country. Suggest creating posters, digital slideshows, or cultural artifacts. Dedicate a class session for students to present their findings, fostering a collaborative environment with time for peer questions. Lead a class discussion on the similarities and differences among the ASEAN countries and the value of regional cooperation.
