We will have a short talk about Extensive Reading from Chris Fry on Sunday 25 August 19:00-20:00. The event will involve a short 20-30 minute casual talk from our PresentER, followed by around 20-30 minutes of questions and discussion. PresentERs takes place on the last Sunday of each month online on Zoom. It is free for anyone to attend.
Chris will talk about running class libraries with adult classes in Barcelona over a period of 40 years. He'll talk about choosing and obtaining books back then and how he would do it today, as well as how to sell Extensive Reading to students. Chris created catalogues of readers at each level organised by genres to help students find a book they would like and insisted that everyone start at a level where some would find it too easy, but that no one would find it too difficult. He set targets and provided feedback on the level and quantity of their reading during the course and obtained feedback about the books very term to be able to eliminate less popular titles from each connection.
After the presentation, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
