[etni] Fw: The Knowledge Connection

Subject: The Knowledge Connection

Hi All,
The article Michele passed on was certainly worth the read and confirms my own thoughts on testing reading comprehension. Sadly, too many teachers find themselves pushed into the corner to teach module this or that rather than English! Too many teachers forgo true textbooks, literature, etc, for modular practice books only. I keep reminding the teachers I work with that by teaching English, reading literature with pupils, reading newspaper articles and discussing current events, etc., the kids will really learn and then succeed in their exams. Endless Bagrut practice work without real language study is a waste of time! 

Laurie
