Teaching Method
The suggested method of teaching is of twofold: introduce the theme of the texts and lead students to the writing task i.e. guide the students to practice specific skills of language knowledge to produce their own writings.
The recommended approach is to view the books not as mere language texts but to introduce students to many disciplines in order to expand their intellectual horizon.
It is important to discuss what it means to be educated through the ideas of great thinkers and help students to become educated through thoughtful writings on different disciplines.
The method, therefore, is to engage students in a dialogue about the questions and ideas raised in each text by exploring through different perspectives and voices of others, and also sharing respectfully their own experiences and thoughts.
