Review of The School Times from the Danish magazine ‘Folkeskolen’
Avis på Engelsk!
“The School Times er en engelsksproget avis for skoleelever. Avisen er på 16 sider og udkommer online i PDF format 9 gange om året mellem Januar og December.
De redaktionelle emner er sport, miljø, politik, teknik, historie, musik, geografi, og film, med vægt på de seneste nyheder.
Der angives normalsidetal på artiklerne. Avisen indeholder også quiz, ordleg, krydsord og andre opgaver i forskellige sværhedsgrader. Up-to-date undervisnings materiale hver måned!
Dette undervisningsmateriale er beregnet til skoleelever fra 8. klasse og opefter, og vil være til glæde for både sprog- og samfundslærere. Avisen er skrevet og redigeret af englændere.
Det valgte sproglige niveau forekommer realistisk til de ældste klasser i folkeskolen. Formatet er godt, kopiegenet og ‘gemme-egnet’. En årgang af bladet vil som tekstbase være et godt udgangspunkt for valg af aktuelle tekster også til prøverne. Prisen er absolut rimelig.”
