A2E and A2G
Good afternoon, A2 lot.
Me han informado de que os tengo que dar vuestras notas de la segunda evaluación antes del final de la semana que viene. Subiré los resultados (apto/no apto) por destrezas aquí. Por supuesto, una vez que volvamos a clase tendréis la oportunidad de ver vuestro examen.
Aunque no diera tiempo a realizar esa prueba, se me exige que tengáis también una nota de ‘speaking’. Me basaré para darla en los resultados que obtuvisteis en diciembre y mis impresiones del día día en clase. Para quien lo prefiera existe la posibilidad de realizar una prueba individual por Skype. (Quien prefiera esta opción deberá dejar un comentario y su nombre de usuari@ de Skype antes del martes que viene)
Have a nice weekend.
C1.2 A and C1.2 CAL
Good afternoon, C1ers.
I’ve been informed that I have to let you know how you did in your last test next week.. I ll be posting the initials (we’re not supposed to post lists with your full names) of the students that sat the test and a grade for each of the skills assessed. Of course, you’ll get to see your exams and get proper personalised feedback once things get back to normal. As for the speaking mark, which I am also supposed to give you feedback on, I can bear in mind the speaking grade you got in the December test and/or my informal observation in class.Alternatively, those of you who choose to can take an individual test conducted through Skype. Whoever wishes to take the test must let me know by next Monday at the latest. (Leave a comment here and make sure include a Skype username).
