Listening homework and related activities
Weekly oral comments
You are responsible for posting weekly individual oral comments to our on-line discussion forum. Your comments will be about a different topic every week. Each weekly topic will be developed by a group of your classmates.
At the beginning of the semester, you will identify one other classmate to work with for the purpose of developing a discussion topic. Each week, one group will develop a topic that the class will use as the basis for the following week's individual oral comments.
When it is your group's week to begin a discussion, you need to post your oral introduction of the topic to our class Moodle page. Your topic introduction must include at least:
- A description of the topic. Include any useful history of the topic, it's relevance to the class, and the reason you chose it.
- A list of useful vocabulary relevant to the topic.
- Some possible discussion questions that students can use as a basis for their individual comments.
- In addition to your oral introduction of the topic, you may also include any text or pictures that you think might be useful, although this is not a requirement.
Each student will post their oral comments about the topic to the Moodle forum.
