It is very useful with the AS/A2 course that we teach for students to monitor the media because all of the topics are areas of current concern, and regularly feature in the media. Students are at a definite advantage if they are able to relate what they study to current events and recent examples. So encouragement to monitor the news and, add recent examples to their notes is very useful for students.
