I just wanted to share a piece of fantastic news with all of you:


Fortunately, I've passed my competitive exam and I've got a permanent job from now on at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (vamos, que he sacado la plaza).


Thanks to all of you because you've helped me become the teacher I am now.

ALL- IMPORTANT!

Dear all,
As classes come to an end, let me remind you of a few things:
  • The marks of your 'evaluación continua' are posted on the classroom noticeboard. Make sure you know if you have to sit the June exam and, if so, which parts.

  • Check the date and times of the exam.

  • After the written exam in June, the marks will be posted along with the times of the speaking test and revision. Remember that you can only do the speaking test if you've passed the other three parts.

  • After the speaking test, all the marks will be posted. If you're not APTO, in September you will have to resit the parts that you failed in June.

  • You can find the information above on the noticeboards outside Building B, not in the classroom.

  • You will be able to download your final marks on (by filling in your ID number and date of birth on the school webpage).

  • Check this page to find online resources to prepare for the exam.
