Kompetenzerweiterung III (Wednesday Group), Homework for December 16th

 For homework, please prepare the following: 

- read the articles (aim for some of this to be out loud) posted on Ilias from the Economist entitled "economist testing testing," "economist testing testing part two" and "papers please" and do the following: 

a) highlight/write down the language used in the article that you find useful for a debate on reforming standardized exams

b) highlight/write down the language used in the article that you find useful for debate questions in general, irrespective of the topic

c) highlight/write down which arguments/points used in these articles you find to be the most effective (note: NOT the ones you necessarily personally agree with or not)

- read the files "Phrasal verbs for study 1_2" and "Collocations for student life 1_2" and highlight/write down the expressions that one could use for the debate question "Should we reform standardized testing?" (There is a "2_2" file for each of the files above which contain exercises for reinforcement/extra practice. These are optional.)

- be ready to debate the question "Should we reform standardized testing?" in next week's section (the articles were of course inspired by COVID-19 restrictions, but think about this question in a broader context as well, i.e. general reform)

- here is the make/have/do/take collocation list referenced in class: Appendix:Collocations of do, have, make, and take - Wiktionary
