Summer Holidays

Hi everyone,

Well, the big May exams session has now finished and despite the anxiety stress facots etc. a lot of people have done very well. So well done to all of you. I am leaving the Moodle spaces open during the summer so that you can use the materials, forums and chat spaces to use your English during the summer too. If you want to chat in English:

1) send a quickmail to someone else on the course
2) arrange when to meet in the chat space
3) organise something to discuss too ( a questionnaire that you can fill in in advance as cutting and pasting saves time when you're actually in a chat, or an article to read and discuss together etc. It is good to have something specific to chat about.
4) Check that you can get into the chat space from your computer in advance. You simply need to click on the chat icon and enter.
5) Maybe write something on one of the motivation forums about your eperiences to share with other students encouraging them to chat too!

Have a good summer and remember to have fun using your languages :-)

Second Term 2009

Dear Everyone,

This week we are starting a new term and this is just a note to say hello to new students and to remind you that the photocopies for all courses are at "La Rapida".
The news this term is that there are also e-learning courses which are a back up element to the Face to Face courses we do in class. These are NOT simply a collection of exercises but a part of the course itself.
I hope to see you in class.

Sharon Hartle :)

Message to C1 Lingue A

Hello everyone,
This is just a message to tell you that I'm sorry we missed our lesson today, but I will try to find us a nice, big classrom to make the lesson up later.
The discussion on the wiki is going well and people who want to are taking part. So I'm very pleased to see that. I was going to continue talking about travel and journeys today and then to move on to emotions. We will go on to emotions next week, so if you want to prepare you should revise the adjectives ( + prepositions and collocations etc.) that describe the way people feel.
See you next week. :-)

C1 general cancelled October 29th

Just to let you know that I have decided to cancel tomorrow's C1 Generallesson from 13.00 to 15.15 since the Faculty of Languages has organised a meeting from 14.00 to 16.00.
The C1 Academic English at 8.30 will take place as usual.

Week Two

Hello everyone,
We're now in week two of term, and last week we got off to a good start although the classrooms were too small. We have now managed to change rooms so check the "avvisi" page at the cla to see where your lesson is.
I found an interesting video on "Education" and I would be interested to hear your opinions so I've posted it on the Blog. You can watch it and comment below.
Remember that the more you do for your English, the better it will become.
See you soon,
Sharon hartle
