Client Acquisition

As a new company, Bulkcan will not be initially well-known, posing a potential lack of clients. To address this, an ad campaign targeting 20-30 year olds, as indicated by our surveys, will be launched. This campaign... Continue reading "Bulkcan CrossFit Box Marketing Plan" »

How to Teach the Four Skills: Reading, Speaking, Writing, and Listening

a) How to Teach ReadingActually there are three stages in teaching reading:

• Pre-reading: In this stage, the teacher starts by contextualizing the topic of the reading process by using proverbs, quotes, pictures, videos, or short discussions, etc. Then, move to explain vocabulary items that students may encounter in the text. After that, he asks for their predictions about the topic of the text they are going to read.
• While-reading: Teacher gives the text to students and asks them to read it silently and check their predictions (this process called skimming). Then the teacher asks them to read again to answer the comprehension questions (this process called scanning).
• Post-reading:
