For international students apart from learning how to speak English and meet the language requirements for university admission in the US, they need to become familiar and develop a deep understanding on a wide range of topics in order to survive at an American university. The website offers reading activities that address important aspects of the life of international students and provides useful information related to academic survival,application and immigration procedures, housing search and other important issues. The reading resources are provided with sound support which gives students the opportunity to practice their listening skills as they read.
Even though the reading texts offer useful information and would easily draw the attention of the specific group of students, the complete absence of pre reading and especially post reading activities leave a lot of room for lesson modification. What kinds of post reading activities could follow the specific reading activities that would give students the opportunity for effective output practice?
