Current Events (38) — Web Description~ In this course, participants will enhance all language skills—reading, speaking, listening, and writing—by concentrating on one or more current topics, including ones selected by them and their classmates. Learners will read newspaper and magazine stories on these topics, listen to and watch news reports, and visit web sites. They will keep a personal blog on the topics that will be used to guide classroom discussion and their projects. As part of the course, participants will also learn how to interview and report news events (video), as well as write opinion columns, reviews and feature articles (newsletter). Throughout the course, students will work on editing the news videos they record and, at the end of the course, they will select their best videos and post them onto the Language Institute’s official YouTube channel.
