"We'll see you again

When it's spring, spring, spring."

 

Reading. 

1. Pre-Reading Activity.    

T.   As you know there are many kinds of schools. They are state and private schools, language and mathematics ones. And even there is such a strange school as the school of the air.

Let’s read the text and say why these schools are called so.

T.   Firstly, pay your attention for the unknown words and pronunciation some of them. ( Опрацьовуємо разом).

Vocabulary Pronunciation

A reason – причина Australia

To provide – забезпечувати private

To sound – звучати resources

The only way – єдиний шлях isolated

 

T.    Read by chain. One sentence for everyone.

2. Reading.

                         Schools Abroad: Schools of the Air

  In Australia, many families live a long way from a town, so the nearest school is often very far away. For this reason, many children attend a very different kind of school of the Air because the students have classes over the radio.

Most areas have a school like this for children between 4 and 12 years old. They study at home but they are still members of the class. The children have radio lessons with their class three times a week. Each lesson lasts about 30 minutes. Students also have a 10-minute private lesson with their teacher once a week.

The school provides the radio, books, videos and other resources. The children send their work to the teacher once a week. The children’s parents help them to do their work at home. Teachers and students also communicate by phone, fax and e-mail and the teacher visits children at home at least once a year.

The school of the Air may sound like a strange idea. For the isolated students of Australia it’s the only way to learn.

T.    Thank you for the reading. And now answer. Why these schools are called the schools of the Air?
