September 26th lesson

Dear students,
Welcome back to Oral English.
Today you will sign up to be a discussion leader. After that you will prepare and present about your summer vacation in groups.

Course Assessment and Grading Criteria


a)      20%   Serving as discussion leader

You must attend your lesson as leader. Failure to do so will mean that you will be penalized ten points (10 points will be taken away from your present score). This is to ensure smooth discussions for the class.

b)      40%   News summary writing

You must write about what you heard in class. You should refrain from accessing the Internet to write your summary, nor should you write it in advance!

c)      20%   Vocabulary tests

These online tests are made by your discussion leaders' weekly contributions of three words each. Check your spelling before you upload.

d)      20%   Presentations

You will be assessed on fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and content. If you read your speech, it will be difficult to judge your fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. Consequently, you will be greatly penalized.


Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
