Description
You will be sent an English News Article to read before the lesson.
During lesson time, I will ask you if there are any vocabulary, phrases or expressions you do not understand and wish for me to further explain to you.
We will then start a discussion on the news article you were given to read. During our discussion, most of the information will be found in the article. However, I may ask some basic questions to encourage you to share your views and express your opinions.
Why? Because this will help you in the following 2 ways:
1) It will allow you to check your understanding of what you've read
2) It will also enable you to use target-specific language related to the article in question during our discussion. This method promotes better retention of vocabulary centred around the topic, hence resulting in improvement in your speaking and comprehension skills
