Dear respectful colleagues,
I'd like to congratulate you all on the occasion of 6 October.Last week has been the week of my favorite technique which is using debate in the classroom especially if the topic is exciting and negotiable .Last week I held 3 debates with my students about three very important topics
1-For or against the work of woman
2-For or against the examinations
3-For or against Using Arabic inside the Classroom.
The result is not as important as the ideas and the language the students used to get their ideas across to the audeince.Some of my colleagues were there and they approved the idea .By the way , I have been using Debate for more than 7 years and every time it proves more success and my students and myself learn something new.If you want more information about how to conduct a debate in a class just e-mail me it is an easy task yet so fruitful.
Hassan Abu Ali
