Formal Introduction to English Pre-Intermediate A (B1)

Dear Students,

My name is René Larenas Moyano, and I will be this semester’s 'English Pre-Intermediate A' (B1), 1st Semester 2024 teacher. I want to tell you that you are very welcome to this course that will (hopefully) begin next Tuesday (March 19th.) at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Now I will explain what is coming for us this semester,

(1) We will have #2 lessons per week, one every Tuesday and the others every Thursday of this coming semester:

Tuesdays: 08:30 am - 10:00 am [Aulario A, Room '9']
Thursdays: 08:30 am - 10:00 am [Aulario A, Room '9']

(2) For this Tuesday (March 19th) the very first lesson will be dealing with administrative issues, while the second (March 21st) onwards, will be focused on developing productive linguistic abilities (i.e. Speaking and Writing)

(2.1) Administrative Issues means; (2.2.1) Evaluations, (2.2.2) Evaluation dates, (2.2.3) Rubric criteria, (2.2.4) Rules and Regulations [Attendance], (2.2.5) Lesson Format and Teaching Methodology

(3) These lessons will be exclusively dedicated to you to work on some basic elements that will help with your communicative skills [Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking]. The idea is that you take this English course as a workshop, not a lecture

(3.1) We will, also, begin most of the lessons by having a little discussion [for the sake of practising your language productive skills] about a video or a topic I bring to the class.

(3) I beg you to please come to every single lesson you can and try to be on time [be as punctual as you can]

(4) Once every lesson is finished, I will upload 2 items to this platform,

(4.1) The teaching material (PPT file and an audio file), if required, and
(4.2) A 'Novedades' notification for you to have a more accurate description of what we will be doing in the next lesson

(5) Please take into consideration that a document has already been uploaded to the 'Material Docente' section:
(5.1) This document is called '2024-1_Ingles 4_B1_Programa_Syllabus.pdf', an extensive document that deals with the lesson's activities and evaluation dates for this semester. Please take a look at it.

(5) Any questions you may have, either in English or Spanish, please feel free to write back. Answers will be delivered typically in English

Best Regards
Until our next lesson
