Writing Center Workshops At The Islamic Institute

IELTS Task 1

Proffessor Dan Niles used a document camera writer, to give a hands-on example of how to write a report for a bar chart as practice for level 3 Midterm. It was a new way to illustrate the information to the students, and we could watch him as he worked through the process. He captured the students' attention with his interactive workshop, and it was interesting!
