Feedback

Now ask the students to work together and check the answer they have been given by the assistant. Has the correct information been given? Have they missed anything? Could they assistant have given any other information? Once this task is completed summarise. Explain to the students that today we have gone through an authentic leaflet made for ordinary members of the public. It has not been modified in any way to cater for foreign students. We have learned how to skim read and then read for specific detail. We have learned how to extract specific information from the text and how to communicate that information. Ask the students if they have any questions. If they do then I will answer the questions as accurately as possible. If the students do not have any questions then thank the students and tell them I have really enjoyed teaching them.
