Reports for June 1st

First, choose one topic that is related to something we have studied or talked about in class. For example: a famous educator, information about a foreign country's education system or a contemporary educational issue. Please tell me your idea in the comments.


Second, do some research this week and bring the information to our next class. We will organize the information and determine how much more research you need to do. If you'd like to do a class survey, I will give you time in class.


The written report will be 1-2 pages (don't forget to include references). Your discussion will be 2-3 minutes of you explaining your topic, then 2-3 minutes of discussion. It is a good idea to have some questions prepared for your group to help get the discussion started.


Email me if you have questions or need some help!

  6. I'd like to talk about a famous educator in China. His name is Li Yang who invented `Crazy English`. His method has been very popular in China. When I was in China, I often saw his messages on TV or on the CD box, and people around me always said "his method is very useful for studying English". I don`t know whether it is true or not. so now I want to research his method and talk about Li Yang and his method.
