The Class Rules Come to class! Don’t be late! Use English most of the time. You can use Korean to help others. You can use your cell phone in class, just not for Kakao! Participate – this is one of your grades. Sleeping is not participating. Make mistakes! It is the best way to learn English. Most importantly, have fun!
