As far as the teacher asking the students to read out loud, it is very important. A very important aspect of teaching is to evaluate the student. By listening to and following his reading skill helps the teacher to be able to help that student in his/her needs.
I finished a class for training adults in continuing education, and there are many methods that can be used to best help all of the different learning styles that adults use to learn, but first one needs to evaluate that student.
