Commitment: 2020

1. This is the content I expect to consider in class today. Prepare for speaking practice in class. Practise using some vocabulary that is clearly related to feelings, such as stressed, guilty, exhausted and furious.

Pay attention to the pronunciation. Look up these adjectives in a dictionary and practise the pronunciation. Don´t forget that repetition and practice are necessary.

Remember that next week we will consider Unit 12.

INFORMACIÓN ALUMNADO B1 A-D-F_ORIENTACIONES PARA LA REALIZACIÓN DE LAS TAREAS PRINCIPALES JUNIO 2020

ORIENTACIONES PARA LA REALIZACIÓN DE LAS TAREAS PRINCIPALES JUNIO 2020

1. La Junta de Andalucía aconseja el uso de Firefox Mozilla para su plataforma. Si creéis haber tenido problemas por culpa del navegador, ya sea Chrome, Explorer, Edge, Opera o Safari, haced alguna prueba con el navegador recomendado.

2. Tanto las tareas de "Reading" como de "Listening" tendrán UN SOLO INTENTO en la plataforma. Si por casualidad el sistema os permite realizar otro por error nuestro o error tecnológico, EL PRIMER INTENTO será el válido y computable obviando los restantes.

3. Para la tarea de "writing" se ruega descargar la plantilla proporcionada en la propia plataforma y usarla para redactar las actividades, así como, una vez acabadas, subirla a la misma. Si el archivo proporcionado da error al descargarlo o no se puede escribir en él, usad, preferiblemente, el formato de archivo .doc (Word) o, si tampoco es factible, aquel formato que sea lo suficientemente común como para que su uso no ocasione problemas (no utilizar "pages", por ejemplo). De igual manera, si el sistema está colapsado y no permite subir la tarea, usad para enviarla el sistema de comunicación habitual que tengáis con vuestro tutor (Edmodo, e-mail, etc.).

4. Por favor, sed pacientes. Hay que tener en cuenta que este sistema lo está usando la casi totalidad de los docentes de Andalucía junto con todo su alumnado y puede que en algún momento se sature. También tened en cuenta que esta situación es tan nueva para vosotros como para nosotros.

Muchas gracias por vuestra comprensión y, sobre todo, por el esfuerzo que estáis realizando.
