English with Newswise

Newswise gives you every two weeks teaching material to work on reading comprehension in English in a fun and motivating way. The texts deal with (international) news topics and are written at three different levels: CEFR A1, A2 and B1. You can also use Newswise to work on citizenship goals. In the workshop you will become acquainted with the Newswise material, so that you can use it in your classroom the next day.

Workshop

Met Newswise werk je elke twee weken op een leuke en motiverende manier aan begrijpend lezen in het Engels. De teksten gaan over (internationale) nieuwsonderwerpen en zijn uitgewerkt op drie verschillende niveaus: CEFR A1, A2 en B1. Newswise kun je ook inzetten om te werken aan burgerschapsdoelen.

In de workshop maak je kennis met het materiaal van Newswise, zodat je het bij wijze van spreken de volgende dag al in je klas kunt gebruiken.
