Guys, it was really nice teaching you for these 3 (intensive) weeks. Here are some of pictures we took on the last day for our graduation party. I hope you enjoy them, and as you send me more pictures, I’ll add them to the album, ok?
Strategies
Guys, something you really have to think about now is how you are going to go about English from now on. You have just finished your last semester of regular advanced course, but you know that if you stop practcing, you start losing what you have learned so far.
Of course you can take one of the many post-advanced courses here at Casa Thomas Jefferson (or at any other school), but there are (many!) things that you can do on your own in order to keep you English polished.
Here is a list of things some of my intermediate students from last semester brainstormed about learning more English. There are things to be done in the classroom and outside the classroom. I would like you to focus on the things that can be done outside the classroom and, after reflecting for some time and taking into account the brainstorming we did in class, answer the following:
-
Were there any strategy you thought of while you were brainstorming and that is not written on the list? (This will help me update the list)
-
Do you think reading this list (and doing your own brainstorming) will help you continue learning/practcing English? How? How much?
-
Is there anything you read on the list and you plan on start doing right away? Which one(s)?
Summer Course Overview
Hey guys, now that summer course is over and you were able to to your last semester of English studies in 3 weeks, write here how you would describe this experience and if you would recommend it to other people.
