If the episode includes show notes, they can compare their summary with those notes. Ask them to prepare a summary of it to present to you in class. Tell your student to listen to a short ESL podcast such as the BBC’s 6-Minute English podcast.
And you won’t waste any class time on listening. If you teach conversation classes then this activity will also mean fewer lesson planning headaches. Many ESL students struggle with English listening skills so they need as much practice as possible. You can then discuss it together.įor more ideas on how to use my short story books for teaching check out my Short Stories teacher’s Guide. If you’re teaching 1:1, you can ask them to present a summary and show you new words they learned from the chapter. In class, students can then discuss the chapter or story together. In my short story books, they’ll find tools to help them understand the material such as glossaries and comprehension questions.
They can find a quiet time to read the story or chapter as many times as they like. Instead of spending time reading in class, get the students to do it between classes. Reading is the foundation of the StoryLearning method and makes for the perfect ESL homework idea.
