 Re: Newspaper Lessons
The site is a great resource. When I taught adults in my first job I didn't have much of an idea so I used to go to Yahoo News and go to the Odd News which had weird stories. I would pick one story for the week (at the time I had three classes, twice a week) and we would do the article for one day. I used to copy the article and then change it around if it was too long or two much slang etc depending on my students level.
It was a lot of work but I got a lot of use out of it because I used it in my other schools and like everything else, the more you try and more you learn.
Having said that my wife has a book from the Hearld I think, which she got in Korea. It has articles and lots of excerises but the book would be for mostly pretty advanced students. If anybody wants to know the name of it I can check it out as it's buried in all the other books!! |
