January 2023 - Advanced Reading Comprehension Practice & Feedback

This is a "Knowledge and Understanding" of the text programme, with the addition of Language acquisition and development. Texts or text-links on a range of topics are sent to participants before each session for prior review, and sessions explore the "explicit meaning" and any Language questions participants may have. The Guided Discussion format also allows for Advanced Speaking Practice.

Sessions become progressively more challenging, beginning with English as a Foreign Language* texts and ending with English as First Language*. Where time allows, ideas and issues raised in the source text ("implicit meaning") may also be discussed. 

These texts are also suitable for use with EFL, E2L and E1L classes.
