End of course

Hi there,

First of all many thanks to all of you, you were an absolute delight to teach!!

I will post the marks here around the 5th of June.

There will be an alternative session of the final exam on Friday June 3 at 10:00 in the staffroom of Edificio Filología E "Multiusos". Fernando, I left an additional copy of the exam with Amy for you so do not hesitate to do the exam on the 3rd of June.

If you are interested in doing a PDI intensive course in June please fill out the following form and send it to me per email! Many thanks! :)

I wish you all the very very best!!!

Hasta pronto

Abrazos

Take care

Week beginning Monday, May 16

What we covered in class on Friday, May 20: We carried out the student A - student B activity mentioned in the previous entry + grammar lesson on emphasis and inversions with exercises (you might also want to read this other very good review of inversions) + 3-stage activity based on a video by The Economist as part of our chapter on sustainability.

By the way, here is the tutorial on the Subjunctive for those who are interested. It will NOT be part of the exam.

IMPORTANT: The exam will take place during the first session (9:00-11:00) since this suited everybody in the end. We will correct it in the second session!

Homework for Friday, May 27: Review everything we covered during the course, especially the vocabulary we compiled in our Quizlet study sets (some of them are incomplete and therefore still need to be updated, so feel free...:), all the specific writing techniques such as paraphrasing, the error-correction activities and all the grammar we covered (conditionals, gradable/ungradable adjectives, inversions...).
