ELTWeekly Issue#5, Tip of the week: Reading Aloud

By Tarun Patel

Reading Aloud

Tarun Patel

During your ELT session pick a student and ask him/her to read the instructions for your activities for that particular session.

e.g. ‘Nilu, please read the instructions for Activity X for us’.

And yes, don’t forget to pick a different student each time.

Why read aloud?

1. It saves you doing it.

2. You can check pronunciation.

3. The other students may well understand the instructions better when read by another student.

4. The students are more likely to listen to another student than to you.

5. If they all read the instructions silently they will all finish at different times. If they listen to someone reading the instructions out loud they all finish at the same time.

I hope this helps!
