June 5th lesson

Dear students, Today you will have your mid-term test. Your score will  be an estimation of your IELTS level for the four criteria of fluency, grammatical range and accuracy, vocabulary, and pronunciation. (I think many of you will end up with very similar scores). Before the tests start, we will check the answers to the vocabulary for the 1983 unit. After that, and when you are not being tested, please carry on with this unit. Kind regards, Chris Elvin

May 29th lesson

Dear students, Today you will finish 1982 and perhaps start 1983. Please download the prints and bring them  to class just in case. You may do the matching for homework in order to maximize speaking time in class. http://www.eflclub.com/music/1983songs.pdf http://www.eflclub.com/1980s/1983.pdf Kind regards, Chris Elvin PS. Your test on June 5th will be one of six topics: my hometown, my high school, my hobby, my friend, my future, or my history. You will be expected to talk for two minutes.

May 22nd lesson

Dear students, Today you will have a student-led activity as usual, and after that you will study about 1982. If you have not done so already, please download the print and bring it to class. http://www.eflclub.com/1980s/1982.pdf For homework, please do the matching exercise. We will check it first thing in class. Finally, for your mid-term test, do you want a 2-minute interview, a song cloze, or a presentation? Please think about it and voice your opinion in class. Kind regards, Chris Elvin

May 8th lesson

Dear students, Today you will have a student led activity and after that you will talk about 1981. If there is time, we may start 1982, so please download the prints in advance just in case. http://www.eflclub.com/music/1982songs.pdf http://www.eflclub.com/1980s/1982.pdf If you would like to do homework in advance, you may research and write about one of the topics on the last page of the 1981 unit. Remember to use your own words, which means no copy and pasting. Kind regards, Chris Elvin
