Providing students with current news and fun facts/information from other countries in the target language will not only teach them about cultural diversity and improve their language skills, it will also boost their confidence in their own abilities. This is so important! If they don’t have confidence in their abilities, they won’t want to continue continue learning the material. The text in these magazines is created to match their level.
