The presenter will incorporate the 'Intensive Input-Output' teaching method in the presentation and demonstrate how we can apply it to reading passages. This method extends reading material by creating lexis-focused listening and speaking opportunities for students, helping them to internalize language more effectively from the input, and use it meaningfully in their output.
