Activities in My English Class

I've been doing informal class forums with my Lower Six students since last week. Today all the groups have presented the forums successfully. Each group consists of 4 students and they were asked to choose their topic of interest. They were given times to do research on the chosen topics and to prepare the structure of the forums. Overall, the students did very well in discussing the topics and the points made were well researched. They were nine groups with more or less different topics. The topics include social problems among teenagers, smoking and alcoholic drink, early marriage, natural disaster, endangered species and friendship. The aims of this forum is to encourage reading widely which in turns improves students' vocabulary and also to develop confidence in speaking in front of audience. I will include the students' discussion in the next post. To my students, I would like to say, well done and keep up the good work!
