 We want to help you improve your English skills over the next two terms  You will be given a Student Diary to record your weekly use of English  We will try to spend an hour each Monday morning on English skills

 Your notebook: to write down information that you can refer to later  Two pens: to write with, one will fail so have a backup  Your Student Diary: to record your use of English  Your brain: so you can learn!  Your voice: to ask questions. No questions, poor learning  Your headphones: to listen to music in the labs

 Roll will be called at 9:15am and 1:15pm  I DO NOT want a class disturbance at this time or afterwards  The door will be locked during roll call  I am not interested in why you arrived late  I am only interested in recording the roll and running the class with NO DISTURBANCE  If you touch my roll book, I will mark you absent

 Do not talk to me; sit down  Write your name, the date and your arrival time on a piece of paper  At the break, hand me the piece of paper  Is this understood?  Have you written this down in your notebook?

 Take a blank sheet of paper  Fold it into quarters lengthwise  Make it into a triangular prism  Write on it to make a sign:  Your first name  One word that will help me remember you  e.g. Warren Beard  I will take a photo of you with your sign

 Communication is going to be very important  You need to understand me, and I need to understand you  “Can you say that again more slowly please?”  “I didn’t understand that, can you explain it in a different way please?”  “What does that word mean?”  “I am having trouble with your accent, can you say that again thanks”

 Are you going to talk to me?  No questions, no discussion => no learning  No learning => no diploma  No diploma => no university degree => Visa gets cancelled  If you want to stay here, be an active learner
