SOME TIPS ON TALKING ABOUT NEWS
IN THE ENGLISH CLASS
I ask this type of questions from time to time, as a warm up activity.
Day 1
- The names of People and Places are good for Spelling dictations.
- Data are good to dictate numbers.
- Difficult questions can be asked in the form of a multiple choice exercise
- It is good to give a handout summarising the activity at the end
- New words are underlined on the handout, for learners to find them
easily.
Day 2
- When vocabulary is reviewed (the next day) the new words are easy to
find, as they are underlined.
- Learners are encouraged to create new sentences with the new vocabulary
Evaluation
Learners are asked to write sentences on what they learned in the written
exam, but it is not a compulsory question in the exam. Learners do it
only if they want, and get a bonus for it.
