NEW TOPICS!!!!!! TED/NEWS/TED-ED Talks for Intermediate and Advanced Students (SKYPE and Non-SKYPE)

Пятница, 25 Октябрь 2019 r. 18:49

Hello Dear Students, 

I have just added news talks and subjects to my TED/NEWS/TED-ED Lesson and also the NON-Skype version of the lesson.  This lesson is for intermediate and advanced students.  

This lesson will consist of a video, quiz, listening, discussion.  Each Bi-weekly Lesson will feature a different TED, NEWS, or TED-ED Talk. This lesson features listening, speaking, vocabulary and reading. You will get many forms of English in this lesson.  

Usually, these talks are under 15-minutes.   When you request this lesson, I will send you the link to watch the talk and take the quiz.  I will also send you the transcript. It is expected you watch the video and take the quiz before the lesson with me.

During the SKYPE lesson, I will ask you to give me a brief summary of the topic of the video. Also in the lesson, we will talk about the information, presentation, vocabulary, Discussion questions and any questions you might have. 

During the NON-SKYPE Lesson, all sections will be completed on your own but you will communicate with me through Cafetalk and the TedED site. You will have 2 weeks to complete the NON-SKYPE lesson before automatic completion by Cafetalk. 

Please choose ONLY 1 talk with your request.  If you do NOT choose, I will choose for you.
