CLASS RULES

  • Your material has to be original.
  • Punctuality is really important. If you are late and there's already an activity in progress, you will have to wait for it to finish and take part in the next one.
  • Use of English in class is essential. Try not to speak in Spanish. Interact with the teacher and your classmates in English as much as possible. 
  • Please avoid instant messaging during our class.
  • Please, don't use translators, use dictionaries instead.

OTHER ASPECTS

  • A monolingual dictionary is recommended in class and for homework. Please avoid the use of translators or AI apps.
  • The use of the digital resources of the Cambridge One platform will be part of your continuous assessment activities.
  • You can hand in late activities and/or projects, however, they will be marked out of 80 points instead of 100 points.
