Goals

Speak well Listen well Act well

Speak well

I will encourage students to speak as much as possible.

The more you speak the better I can correct the little mistakes.

Please don’t be shy!

Listen Well

There is a CD and I will be using it A LOT!

This will be where your homework will come from

The more you listen the easier it become. Sometimes you will have to listen 10 time to just one sentence.

Act Well I hope that I can introduce some

cultural aspects that might give you pause.

I want to make you feel safe when speaking with a native English speaker.

To do this I will have to explain what is acceptable behavior. (i.e. no hats inside)

Grading

The grading will be done as follows: Attendance and participation 20% Homework 10% Quizzes 20% Midterm 20% Final 30%

Success! I have three major suggestions for you to find success

in my class. 1. Try- Everyone’s ability will be different; if you are

great at English but don’t work hard, this will be bad. I will reward the student whose English is not as good but tries hard.

2. Don’t miss a lot of classes. I know emergencies happen, but I do take attendance and will know if you miss too much. Also, your grades will suffer.

3. Leave your pride at home. We will be doing lots of silly and fun activities and if you are worried about looking bad then you will not grow.

My Goals

My goal for myself is to better understand you, the students. Each of you is a person and each of you brings something different to the class. I must better understand you and your problems so that I can quickly and efficiently fix them
