Dear all,
Next session we will discuss the critical thinking articles (the two uploaded so far). Also, you will have to decide on the topic of your presentations and let me know. Presentations will take place on Friday 5 for section one students, and on Monday 8 for section two students.

You can choose to make a presentation on any of the following articles:

1. John Berger (Ways of Seeing chapter 1)
2. Claire Kramsch (The relationship of language and culture)
3. Culture and civilization (links to websites on this blog)
4. Critical thinking (links to websites on this blog)

The presentations will last 5 minutes, allowing for about 5 more minutes for questions and short discussions.

The main idea of these presentations is that you give your account and viewpoint of the articles. You are not expected to tell us what the articles say in detail. It is assumed that everybody has read them already. What is expected from you, is a presentation of your understanding of the article/s and how you relate it/them to your future as an English teacher.

The marking criteria is to be found in the following link

I´m really looking forward to your presentations!!
Claudia
