RESULTS OF THE FEEDBACK

guys

i have read your comments. what about the following for term 2 ...

1. more exam stuff. I was thinking in January that for one month we could do nothing but exam work. one saturday do a reading paper, one saturday do a use of english etc. just for the month of january to show you the standard required and do some stuff on exam technique

2.more writing homework. no problem will set more homework. a lot of people also said that they didn't mind doing writing in class as they didn't have time at home. no problem. more writing in class it is.

3. more speaking activities. no problem. but you have to realise that i can not listen to everyone at the same time. just because i am not listening to your group should not be an excuse to slip back into portuguese... it is highly likely in the future that you will speak english to a non english speaker - e.g. an Italian - so you should always speak to each other in English

4. a film for the last 30 mins. instead of a stupid game, we could watch a film. i quite like this idea for two reasons. firstly i don't think anyone can concentrate for 3 hours. Secondly films have great language presented in a context to assist with meaning. what do you think ?

5. a weekly topic for the blog. fine. you guys can choose the topic.

6.marking. guys i don't know if i have made this clear or not, but when i mark your home work the stuff in green is good, and the stuff in pink or orange is bad...

comments please
