ALL - working at home

Dear students,

Remember that personal work outside the classroom is essential to learn a language. 

As I told you in class, apart from the set homework, you can revise what we do in class in several ways:





- doing the exercises in the workbook
- working on the Multi-Rom which includes video and audio exercises too
- using the student's website
- looking at the useful links (on the right-hand side of this page) regularly

Apart from the diagnostic test we're taking in class, you can also do this one online to get some feedback on your grammar.
