Why are you studying English?

Today we discussed some questions in groups:

- Why are you studying English?
- What skills are you good at?
- What skills are you bad at?
- What are your favorite classroom activities?
- Are you in contact with English outside the classroom?
- What do you expect from Intermediate Level 1?

I borrowed most of them from my colleague Sergio Viñals's blog, from the school of Torre Pacheco. You can visit his blog here.

Also, taken from his blog and for homework, you can download and do a test to revise Grammar, Vocabulary and Pronunciation. The key is also available to check your answers.

Welcome!

Dear INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 1 students of EOI Alhama,

I am pleased to welcome you to this new class blog, your blog, as a meeting point for the class this year.

In this space you will mainly find extra material and activities related to what we do and see in class, as well as, hopefully, some fun stuff that might as well amuse you while practising your English.

However, the most important thing, feel free to participate with your comments and ideas and start TAKING OFF! It's your blog after all! Remember that together we can make the course more interesting and fun.

I hope to see you around here in the very near future.
