A new year begins...

I would like to say hello to my new students in San Fernando and I hope we have a very fruitful and intense year. As I told you in the induction session, assessment will be carried out in three terms and you will have to succeed in the four language skills: writing, reading, speaking and listening skills. If you want to know more about how an "eoi" works, click here.

The books for this year are:

First year: New English File Elementary. Clive Oxenden, Christina Lathan-Koenig, Paul Seligson. Oxford University Press.

Fourth year: New Inside Out Upper Intermediate. Sue Kay and Vaughan Jones. MacMillan.

To start with, I'd like to add a humorous touch. Watch this video and I hope you don't have so many problems with English as this poor man.


Quisiera saludar a mis nuevos alumnos de San Fernando. Espero que tengamos un curso muy fructífero e intenso. Como os dije en la presentación, la evaluación tendrá lugar en tres evaluaciones y tendréis que superar las cuatro destrezas: comprension y producción oral y comprensión y producción escrita.

Goodbye to my students in Ayamonte

This is a quick note to all my students from this past year to tell you that we won't be seeing each other this year. I've been sent to San Fernando. I've enjoyed the classes with you all and I hope you do well this year as well. I think you all have my email address, so if you need to contact me for whatever the reason, feel free to do so. All the best. Goodbye.

Una nota para todos mis alumnos del pasado curso para decirso que no nos veremos en este curso que viene. Voy a San Fernando. He pasado un año estupendo en vuestras clases y espero que todo os vaya bien en este curso. Creo que tenéis mi dirección de email, así que si tenéis que contactarme por cualquier cosa, hacedlo. Os deseo lo mejor. Hasta otra.
