ELT365 · Day 181 — Month 6 review — receptive skills

Idea — This month covered the full receptive skills toolkit: top-down and bottom-up processing, gist and detail tasks, skimming and scanning, text selection, lead-ins, and the five-stage lesson frame.

Example — Quick check: D155 introduced the gist task. D162 covered skimming. D167 warned against choral answer-checking. D173 named the ‘read and discuss’ trap. Spot your gaps.

Try — Write the numbers of the three days you found most useful. Then write one classroom change you will make this week. Month 7 starts tomorrow: productive skills — speaking and writing.
