They want to know how about students' feeling and opinions. My work:Lesson plan |

525 Reading and Writing Techniques In this course, the teacher uses two books to tell us how to teach reading and writing. I like these books, they are so useful and easy knowing.

In this assignment, I learned how to choose "good" text books and compare their differences. My work: Final Present ion |

536 Content-Based Instruction In this course, the teacher introduces a great teaching methodology "CBI". It includes 30 teaching parts. Each part has unique function and expression. Actually, CBI is a big project. I have twice chance to practice it. One is group work. Another is personal work. I like to do by myself because I would like to figure out all the details. It is a worthy class. My work: SIOP |
