Today I met with Eun-kyoung and Jaoa. We decided last week that we wanted to continue the debate form of sessions. I sent them both two articles to read prior to our meeting. On about the War on Terror and the other on same-sex marriage. First, we went over any vocab words they were not familiar with in their reading. After that we discussed the different points the articles made as well as their own personal opinions. Discuss controversial topics really illuminate the cultural differences between America and their home countries. It works to learn about the different cultures while practicing reading comprehension.
While these articles made for good discussion, next session I want to provide more challenging reading material. I am going to try to find old TOEFL passages and have them study them as they would during the test.
