In this course, students will:

Typical class structure:

teacher asks about words from the reading
students define the words independently or with help

another student reads aloud
new words are discussed, defined, used in sentences
teacher asks comprehension questions 
students answer and discuss

My teaching style is interactive, so I engage fully with the students. I find the Socratic method encourages discussion, participation, and active learning.
