Introduction

PTA

Programma van toetsing en afsluiting

--> alle toetsen voor het hele schooljaar staan vast; welke en wanneer (weeknummer) 

--> deze toetsen worden alsnog in Magister gezet, maar je kunt zelf een jaarplanning bijhouden met behulp van alle vak PTA's 

--> vwo 4 is bij Engels enkel voortgangstoetsen. Dit betekent dat wel alles vast staat, maar dat nog niets mee telt voor je eindexamen. Alle onderdelen worden in V5 en V6 afgerond. 

Of Course

Student's book + Reference book 

Student's book contains texts, vocabulary (study box) and assignments.

Reference book contains grammar explanations, yellow pages, irregular verbs, etc. 

Of Course

5 units 

Each unit is divided up into 5 lessons; each lesson focuses on a different skill (reading, writing, speaking, listening). 

Of Course

study box 

- vocabulary: divided up into words that you'll have to study Dutch-English and words that you'll have to study English-Dutch (you'll only have to study them one way!) 

- expressions: phrases/sentences that you'll have to study Dutch-English 

- grammar overview of that unit 

Portfolio

Combined work of writing assignments

Each unit you will write an assignment. This will be marked O/V/G. As long as it's O you have to re-write. 

The assignments will be typed out and printed. You will put all assignments in a folder. 

First assignment is due on Friday 24 September. 

Study box 

You will be asked to copy the words from the study box at least once every lesson. You will bring (and/or buy) a seperate notebook for this purpose. 

This will be part of the homework and is mandatory, so not doing it will mean that you didn't do your homework. 

What to do?

Write me a letter in which you discuss the following information:

- what your experiences are with English classes so far

- what your expectations are for the upcoming year

- what you find difficult while studying the English language

- what you hope will be a bigger part of your English classes this year

End of the class

Next class: lesson 1.1

Homework: finish your letter and hand in next class
