For each unit in the text, corresponding sections in the workbook and manual provide written and listening exercises for vocabulary and grammar practice. These will be assigned as homework, which you will need to complete and bring to class the following class period. Homework assignments will usually be gone over in class. The instructor will determine which exercises will count for a grade. Homework may be given in addition to or in place of some of the activities manual exercises.
Unassigned exercises provide additional practice and review.
As a group you determine the time to meet weekly. As language learning is largely an active process, you can earn up to 10 points per unit based on your oral participation in class during that unit. On two occasions during the semester you will be given a specific communication situation for which you will need to prepare. You will have at least one week to prepare in order to answer questions given by the instructor. Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent them from fully demonstrating their abilities should contact the instructor personally as soon as possible to discuss any accommodation necessary to ensure full participation.
