News Brief Study Guide
Yu
We are using News Brief now on a formal basis. To facilitate the learning of vocab and useful expressions, we will read the news items by subject matters. The students, after study, should at least develop a receptive competence in news language, i.e., they should be able to identify and understand news items in both listening and reading on the subjects they have covered.
