Teacher A said to teacher B, “Homework ought to be something meaningful for the student, say for example, not a drill which says nothing to the student at that moment. The purpose of that drill is to train the student to be able to express his ideas while describing a picture from a magazine. Also you can assign as homework a zillion different things, like working on a text, which is meaningful for them, like history, current news, their graded reader, something about the plot of it, or about some characters – some characters who some students can identify with.” / Photo from: www versionoriginalbcn com. 4 extensive spanish course students discussing . centro de lenguas modernas universidad de granada
One day teacher A said to teacher B, “Before a Reading activity of a text you have previously handed out to your students, I believe it’s sound to create certain eagerness to read it. I mean, make a pre-reading, a lead-in: ask them questions whose answers will appear in the text; ask your teens about the gist or details about the topic. You, read it before. It’ll be less bore than if just reading a printed text. Spur their curiosity, their thirst to read it.” Photo from www iml granada com
