How's your English, in your opinion?

If you answered C or D on the previous question: which things do you still find hard? (PS please be more specific than "the grammar". )

How well did you manage to keep up with online classes?

1. I preferred it that way!
2. I didn't have any problems
3. I mostly managed
4. Eh... not all that well.

THIS IS ME 

- Quite old 

- Not always a teacher 

- Married, two children

- Love travelling, swimming, writing, Marvel films, reading, sailing, going to concerts, watching football. 

How does this work? 

We have classroom rules, because you all have a right to learn without being disturbed by others. 

Because you were not raised by wolves, most rules will not be a surprise. 

What to do? 

- Be prepared for class. Bring books, notebook, pens. 

- Do your homework. 

- Leave iPads in your bag until you are given permission to take them out of your bag. 

- Follow instructions

- Pay attention and be quiet during teacher instruction

- Get to work when told to do so. 

- Read instructions in your book before asking what to do

- Be kind

- Speak English as much as you can. 

What not to do

- Don't be rude or use foul language 

- Don't make fun of others  

- Keep your hands off other people and their belongings

- Don't play games on your iPad. 

- Don't lie to me - or to yourself 

Homework and flex 

- Always bring your paper books. You may need them in case of Wifi-problems - or if I decide you cannot handle the distraction of the iPad. Sometimes, exercises in class will have to be done from the book. 

- Learning goals are in the planner and you will be reminded of them regularly. 

- You are always welcome to join a Flex hour. However, if you do this while not working seriously in regular class, I will be displeased.
