Young Reporter   

Young reportersIdeal for Key stage 4

The concept is to place the student in the role of reporter and is linked closely in line with GCSE thinking. ‘Young Reporters' work in small teams to research a theme before conducting interviews with local people. All material is then reviewed and the best interviews interpreted back at the hotel. The final report can take a variety of forms reflecting both the aims of the individual teams and their linguistic ability, for example, advanced level students could aim to produce a report in the style of a newspaper or magazine article.

  • 1 dictaphone and clipboard per every 5 students
