A useful resource & creative approach to language teaching!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
It is surprising how often newspapers are overlooked as a valuable teaching tool. For one, newspapers provide immediate relevancy so as to spark student interest in current events around them. Besides, as newspapers are often written in plain, simple English, students will find them less daunting to read. This book gives teachers of English practical and creative ways to teach the language through the use of newspapers. For instance, the activities are created out of different sections of the newspapers -- from cartoons to editorials -- so that they provide a collection of challenging yet engaging activities to cater to different learners. The sample materials, combined with clear procedures and guidelines, make it a handy tool for the teacher. Definitely recommended for those teachers keen to explore new ways to enhance language teaching and learning!
