The guide for teachers presents ideas and procedures for using newspapers in classroom instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) in elementary and secondary education. It proposes that the newspaper offers not only material for classroom use but also information for students about the local community and the larger world. An introductory section outlines general methods for newspaper use, including distribution of one newspaper to each student, article clipping and storage, and recording of student oral language progress. The subsequent series of newspaper-based class activities is organized by language and cultural skill area: language structure (grammar); speaking (discussion and general speaking; role-playing, debate, and reports; stress and intonation practice); listening comprehension; writing (rewriting, transforming, summarizing, composition); reading (critical reading and inference; general comprehension); culture (coping; American life); and vocabulary development. The activities suggested use articles, comics, games, puzzles. and advertising. Each activity is described briefly, and some illustrations are included. (MSE)
