<World Food>

 

✓Lesson information

This lesson is closely related with 'food'. As you can see from the title of the lesson, it introduces many different kinds of foods from different countries. However, because of the limited space of the textbook, it can't introduce many foods. Also, It can't show the representative food of the countries. Therefore, by adding further reading materials, I want to show 4 representative foods for each country.

 

✓What are these reading materials?

I chose 4 representative foods for Korea, USA, Japan, and Italia which are Pizza, Kimchi, Sushi, and Risotto. These reading materials have basic knowledge of those foods and these foods are quite famous, so students can just enjoy reading these texts. Almost every students know kimchi, but I want students to read some materials about kimchi because when they read a text which is related with something they already know, it is very helpful to develop their reading skills.

 

✓How can we use these reading materials?

As an English teacher, we can use these reading materials as a further reading class or an extensive reading class. The hidden meaning is I want to develop students' reading skills or strategies by using extensive reading. Normally, extensive reading is not good for developing reading skills or strategies. However, I think that when students read texts which are related with very familiar things, they can develop their reading skills or strategies unconsciously. So, by using these reading materials, I want to give both information and reading skills or strategies to my students.
