Guidelines for next lessons

Dear Students,

For today's lesson (August 16th.)

(1) The PPT file for 'Lesson 1' & 'Introductory Lesson' can be found in the 'Material Docente' section

For the following lessons (August 19th and 23rd.)

(1) We will be working on both of our lessons, which will be divided into two parts, as we already know: 

(1.1) The following Monday and Friday lessons  (#2 & #3) will work on Linguistic Structures and Communicative Contexts.

(1.1.1) Lessons 2 & 3 will be [almost wholly] composed of (a) the Linguistic part (some grammatical structures in communicative contexts for the most part and written autonomous work for Written Quizzes) and (b) the Communicative part (individual and group work: debating activities, video discussions, etc. Preparation on autonomous work for Oral evaluations) 

In case you have any questions, please write back,

Best Regards

Formal Introduction to English 4 (B1)

Dear Students,

My name is René Larenas Moyano, and I will be this semester's 'English 4' (B1), 2nd Semester 2024 teacher. You are very welcome to this course that will (hopefully) begin the following Monday (August 12th.) at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences.

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

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

Mondays: 09:00 am - 10:30 am [Clasroom 'E-303']
Fridays: 11:30 am - 01:15 am [Classroom 'E-305']

(2) For this Monday (August 12th.), the very first lesson will be dealing with administrative issues, while the second (August 16th) 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 essential 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

(4) We will also begin most of the lessons by having a little discussion [for the sake of practising your productive language skills] about a video or a topic I bring to the class.
(4.1) I beg you to please come to every single lesson you can and try to be on time [be as punctual as you can]

(5) Once every lesson is finished, I will upload two items to this platform:
(5.1) The teaching material (PPT file and an audio file), if required, and
(5.2) A 'Novedades' notification for you to have a more accurate description of what we will be doing in the next lesson

(6) Please take into consideration that a document has already been uploaded to the 'Material Docente' section under the '[Appendix] Program and Planning' sub-section :
(6.1) This document is called '2024-2_Ingles 4_Programa asignatura', an extensive document that deals with the lesson's activities and evaluation dates for this semester. Please take a look at it.
(6.2) This document may suffer from further modifications for some lessons and evaluation dates, so please stay tuned for these changes.

(7) If you have any questions in English or Spanish, please write back. Answers will be delivered typically in English

Best Regards
Until our next lesson
