• Listening (recordings / movies / songs/ documentaries)
  
• Reading (newspaper articles / literature/ poetry / books)
  
• Writing (letters / essays)
  

 My job is to fulfill your needs during the learning process, I am here to help you, but also to make sure you reach the goals.

Here is some basic advice to increase your chances of success:

• Listen and read in English as much as possible
  
• Work regularly; learn your vocabulary on a weekly basis
  
• Use English as the class language – oral participation is needed and strongly recommended
  
• When you don’t understand something, ask me
  
• If something is wrong (e.g. rhythm too slow/fast, homework, tests…), tell me
  
• Remember that mistakes are part of the learning process, do not laugh at each other and try to express yourself freely

Classroom rules

• You are almost adults, I expect you to follow the course of your free will. If you disturb me you will simply be asked to leave. Know that I do not have time to enter into endless negotiations, if you are asked to leave, just do it.
  
• Do not speak while I or another student are speaking.
  
• During group work you can speak normally, but there is no need to shout
  
• I expect you to do your homework, but I will not systematically check it. Just know that there can be a test at anytime
  
• Come with your books!!! If you don’t have them you’ll simply be asked to leave the class and do some extra work at the library.
