Potential Prereading Activities
Option 1: Ask a question to allow learners to connect what they
will be reading with their own knowledge and
experience.
What topics do you think are the most difficult to discuss with
native
speakers of English? (1= most difficult; 8 = least difficult)
- Weather
- Sports
- Politics
- School
- Work
- Health
- Religion
- Family
Potential follow-up questions:
- What made it difficult (or easy) to talk to native speakers
about these topics?
- What things have you learned when
talking to native speakers
about these topics?
- Have you ever experienced a situation where
you were unable to
understand a discussion about one of these topics?
- What caused
the communication problem?
