Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with English as an Additional Language or Dialect

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• The Listening section: format, two hearings and the order of questions
• Note-taking from lectures, interviews and speeches
• Answering listening questions to the mark: list, identify, outline, describe, explain
• Beyond the facts: metaphor, speaker attitude, multiple-choice and table items
• Short-answer reading: finding the answer in the right text
• Fact and opinion, perspective and choosing supporting quotations
