--------------------------------------------------
Q) What is the blueprint of Talk Show ?
A) Talk Show classes adopt the radio and TV talk show formula in which the host initially presents the audience with an introduction regarding the topic by a combination of description, evaluation and quotation. This phase is commonly known as brain-storming which prepares the attendants for forming ideas and opinions about the brought-upon subject.
After this stage ,the host of the show involves participants through asking questions and demanding comments from each of them. In doing so, the participants may find themselves in a situation where it's hard to express one's opinion or make a mistake altogether. In the former case the host jumps in and gives an aid to the current speaker by providing hints, contributing new thoughts or ultimately changing the direction of the remark in order to facilitate the speaking process and alleviate the tension induced by the error; in the latter case the host merely intervenes when the fault is too significant to ignore and alters the shape of the dialogue.
As the discussion proceeds, new comments and sentiments generate new discussions that not only assist the participants in digesting the matter but also promote critical thinking.
In the mean time ,the host manages the flow of information and time dedicated to each person not to mention allowing for a competitive environment to encourage reaction from the audience. He also writes down the new ideas on the board for the members of the class who aspire to improve their understanding through note-taking.
At the end, the host along with the audience reaches a conclusion for the theme and ceases the seminar by supplying the audience with food for thoughts concerning the issue.

Q)What is Talk Show News?
A)Conveying the latest news around the globe has become far more convenient these days thanks to the immense and round the clock broadcasting of the latest and greatest occurrences through cable TV, satellites and the internet; however, the significant magnitude of the news material coupled with the short time that regular individuals are willing to spare for viewing them has pushed the media to present the news as efficiently and briefly as possible.
The aforementioned approach is realized through use of literary and journalistic words within a fast-paced frame of presentation. As a result, non-native speakers of English may encounter with difficulty trying to grasp and examine the news.
Boasting the motto “News comprehension, analysis, and discussion”, as well as strikingly positive feedback from the participants, Talk Show News can prove to be among the best arenas to practice professional speaking along with understanding and critical thinking.
As for the blueprint of the course, following a brief brain-storming, the news programs from various channels including, but not limited to CBS, NBC, CNN, BBC and so forth are depicted on a large screen for the attendants to witness. We tend to balance the news outlets by analyzing the coverage done by conservative media as well. Upon reaching the conclusion of each section of the news, the video is paused, and the news as well as the accompanying new ideas are discussed. Finally the attendants are divided into separate teams for engaging in analytical pair-works in which the participants discourse the news with each other while under observation, yet not interference of the instructor.
