Dear Students,
My name is René Larenas Moyano, and I will be this semester’s English Intermediate A teacher. I would like to tell you that you are very welcome to this course that will (hopefully) begin next Monday, January 3rd, from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., this implies the following,
(1) We will be having #2 synchronous lessons each day of the week (Mon-Fri) (9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.)
(1.1) We will be having #1 asynchronous hour per day which will be exclusively dedicated for you to work on your asynchronous evaluations.
(1.2) Originally these two lessons take 2 hours, however, according to this sanitary contingence, they will be reduced to 1.5 hours (i.e. from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)
(1.3) We will be taking some time during lessons as a break, that is to say, if necessary, we will take 10 minutes, and then, we will continue with the lessons
(2) For next Monday (Jan. 3rd) the very first lesson will be about administrative issues, while the second, will be focused on developing productive linguistic abilities (i.e. Speaking and Writing)
(2.1) From the second lesson onwards, all online lessons will be focused on developing productive linguistic abilities, while most of the evaluations will be done at home. I will give you some in-class time to ask and/or develop your autonomous work
(3) I beg you to please connect to every single lesson you can
(3.1) 15 minutes before the synchronous (online) lesson starts, please log to ‘u-cursos’ ('Clase Virtual' section) and connect to the lesson from there
(4) Once the lesson is finished, I will be sending you 2 items,
(4.1) The teaching material (PPT file and an audio file), if required, and
(4.2) The link for the lesson will be recorded for you to have an archive to look at. This video link will be attached to the 'Clase Virtual' section, in other words, the lesson audio-visual link will be saved on ‘u-cursos’
(5) Any questions you may have, either in English or Spanish, please feel free to write back.
