Newspapers in Language Teaching / Testing

Students of the I Pbt / Zoology Class were all geared up with their day’s newspapers in hand, and the few who didn’t were asked to purchase one right away.

The test started at 11.30 am, and students were busy sifting through the reems of articles to get their answers right!

A good thing that I had observed today about my vibrant students was that, each one was so engrossed in their answer sheet that he/she did not turn around here or there at any point of time.

The Jumble in page 15 was indeed a challenge to most of them.

Yet another encouraging thing that I had observed today was the interest of the students in the questions given to them today.

One could find most of the students glued to their answer sheets till around 2.15, which is 45 minutes behind cut off time.

The snap here, shows my students taking their first C.A based on the day's newspapers.
