C-R activity for the EAP course

Another EAP work in progress…

This is a corpus-based consciousness-raising activity that focuses on the words “percent” and “percentage”. The activity contains a concordance listing for these two words followed by questions which encourage students to identify different patterns in their usage. At the end of the activity there is an opportunity for students to produce sentences using these patterns.

CR Activity – percent

Most of the instances in the concordance listing (20 out of 29) come from two readings in the “Reasons for attending college” topic of the spring term:
- “Why women delay college”
- “Poll: Students growing more self-centered”

I hope to knock out a few more activities like this on other AWL vocabulary items that come up in the spring term readings…
