There is so much happening in the world today that it is sometimes difficult to keep up with it. Over the course of my career as an English teacher, I have used many, many news stories to help my students learn English. In most cases, these are topics that have been discussed in class as a way of helping students achieve fluency and increase their vocabulary.
The advent of the internet and now the COVID-19 crisis have forced many teachers to rethink their strategies and find new ways of helping students learn and practice English. As a teacher I am often overwhelmed by the materials that are available to me. Unfortunately, a lot of the material that is out there is not designed for non-native speakers. Which is why I have decided to make this material available to you.
It is free, it should be interesting, it should be informative, and it should help you learn a bit more about the United States, its people, and its current political and economic challenges.
