In groups and mixed pairs, students use English in oral conversations, interviews, storytelling, and presentations that may be supported by artwork. Students also keep reflective journals about their language learning and language identity. For enrichment, students read graded readers and other books from the university library and the classroom library in preparation to give oral reports on gBook Clubh days. This extensive reading and other homework extend classroom activities.
