1. When reading, students have difficulty reading and understanding new words in the passage, such as iron and satisfy.
2. When discussing, some students are not able to use correct words or phrases to express ideas and their ideas are not organized enough.
3. When debating, students lack
background information.
1. Add necessary pictures and phonetic symbols, then teach students to use proper reading strategies to guess meanings of new words from pictures and context while reading.
2. Provide sufficient scaffolding before students’ discussion.
3. Present more multimodal discourses to inspire students before debating.
