**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Back in the 70s and the80s, when I was a vice principal and worked admin. hours, I ran a very extensive, extensive reading programme in school which required all students to be tested orally on the books they had read. The results were very positive and there was an atmosphere of reading fever in my English classes.For teachers who teach 4 or 5 classes without the luxury of an office and admin. hours, such a programme would be a physical impossibility, so I was interested to read Hedy's group discussion idea. The question that immediately comes to mind is:What does she do with shy or weak students who can't hold their own in a group situation?
