7.6 Preparation for Facilitating Discussion
(ディスカッションをリードするための準備)

I’m now familiar with teaching methodology for getting discussions started. Are there any suggestions for when I am preparing for teaching a class?

Yes. My suggestion is to do research on the discussion topic well and grasp all the possible directions for discussion in advance. Such preparation will help you understand what the students talk about and what they want to say. After you’ve done this, you’ll be able to handle the situation without getting upset and effectively facilitate a discussion.

Thanks for your suggestions!
