Assignment for August 31st

FCE

What do you think about the work we have been doing with the FCE reading section? How difficult is it? Are we moving too slow? too fast? Are you going to improve your score for next simulation? What areas of your English do you need to improve? Are these reading exercises helping you in your progress as a reader? Have you enjoyed the readings? the topics? the challenge? Do you have any suggestions for upcoming activities?

Waiting for your posts.

Best regards,

Marcela.

Also, what do you think about the video watching in class?

What do you think about teaching or reinforcing your teaching by using videos? Is it very difficult to get the infrastructure so as to do it in a school? Are schools willing to invest money on technology so as to make your classes more interactive, motivating and meaningful? Waiting for your posts. Best regards, Marcela.
