| Description: |
Journal Club is designed for current and future TAs, graduate students, and visiting scholars to gain confidence in reading aloud and leading and participating in classroom discussions about texts. Each week, participants will receive a short article two days ahead of time to prepare for our discussions. This workshop will focus on improving pronunciation, expanding vocabulary, and developing effective discussion strategies. Participants will also have the opportunity to lead discussions, enhancing their confidence and skills in academic settings.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to...
1. Read aloud with comprehensible pronunciation and increased confidence.
2. Use key terms from academic texts accurately in discussions.
3. Effectively facilitate group discussions about various texts.
4. Employ turn-taking skills when participating in discussions. |
