Un buen repaso antes de seguir adelante...

Hola a todos,a 2 semanas de haber comenzado el Segundo cuatrimestre, les acercamos un repaso de los contenidos gramaticales principales que fueron viendo en el Nivel 1 del Ciclo Básico.Mucha suerte en la cursada, mucho estudio... y atentos, que lo mejor del idioma está por venir! Recuerden, la clase no es el teatro donde van a ver la obra que presenta el profesor, sino el escenario donde ustedes crean y recrean su propia realidad... pero "en inglés". Por lo tanto, a mayor creatividad, participación, empeño y estudio... lograrán muuuuchos mejores resultados.

Total English - Revisión de todas las Unidades

Hola a todos!

El cuatrimestre ya está finalizando, y queremos que el proceso de exámenes sea un tiempo de evaluación objetivo y a la vez personal. Objetivo, cuando todos ustedes alumnos rinden sus exámenenes en los que se evalúa el progreso y los contenidos adquiridos. Y personal, cuando son ustedes mismos quienes miden y ven su propio progreso. Es por eso que hoy les acercamos un examen unidad por unidad, para que hagan una evaluación personal antes del examen. Pero... es importante que NO los realicen como un ejercicio más, sino como el resultado del estudio previo. Hagan los ejercicios del Workbook, trabajen con el CD-ROM -tiene muy buena ejercitación y explicaciones claras y concisas-. Y recién después, realicen estos "exámenes" de práctica.
Que les resulte de utilidad y que los exámenes finales sean un tiempo de cosechar el trabajo del cuatrimestre.

Revisión a mitad del cuatrimestre

Hola a todos!
estamos exactamente a mitad del cuatrimestre, y nos pareció un buen momento para deternos y ver cómo y cuánto estan progresando en el aprendizaje del idioma.
Esta revisión que les presentamos es bastante sencilla, e incluye los contenidos mínimos que tendrían que tener y con los que estamos seguros ya estarán familiarizados. Por lo tanto... no hay mucho margen para equivocarse. Como pauta, les contamos que aquellos errores que llegaran a tener son los puntos gramaticales o de vocabulario en los que deberían hacer hincapié.
Mucha suerte en el trabajo, y seguimos en contacto.
