Student directed lesson - 20 points: Your group should prepare an activity to last between twenty and thirty minutes. The purpose of this activity is to improve the oral fluency of the participants.

Attendance and participation - 30 points: You are expected to attend ALL classes. Each absence will be penalized by a deduction of 3% from your final grade. If you are late, you will be penalized by a deduction of 1% from your final grade. If you are very late, you will be considered absent. 

Final Test - 20 points: 
You will be asked to deliver a three to five minute solo presentation about one of the semester's research and write homework assignments. It will be assessed on content, delivery, English expressions, and visual support (slides).

Class activities portfolio – 30 points: Please keep all work that you do in class and for homework in a plastic file (vinyl sheet), and hand this in to your teacher at the end of the year. Your portfolio should be complete, and demonstrate your integrity as a learner. It is better to hand in a portfolio with mistakes than a perfect (copied?) portfolio.

Good luck, 

Chris Elvin
