Re: How do you determine whether a class was a success?

If the sts can remember what was taught in the next lesson

Re: teaching vocabulary

How old are the sts?
You could draw the items and/or use flashcards.
Pictionary is a good game for foods.

Re: Favourite textbook?

What a broad question!

Re: what are your goals with readings

I use reading exercises for concept checking purposes. It also helps to challenge sts to use language in new ways. I sometimes have the sts read a short story (maybe 20-30 lines/ sentences). I will...

Re: what are your goals with readings

A reading?
Are the students reading to you? or...
Are you reading to the students and getting them to extract information?

Sorry, I've never come across "a reading" before....
