Class Discussion - English

Step into a virtual classroom and practice leading a real class discussion, from kicking off the lesson to calling on students who are eager to share their ideas. Every student answers in their own voice, and some bring the kind of tricky misunderstandings you'll meet in a real classroom, so you can build your questioning and response skills in a safe space before facing a live class.
