WANTS AND NEEDS
Posted by: danielleferreira on: August 11, 2009
Let’s talk a little bit about your wants and needs
In terms of our English classes…
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITIES?
WHICH ACTIVITIES AREN’T YOU COMFORTABLE WITH?
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE AN “IDEAL CLASS”
DO YOU THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH LISTENING/WRITING/GRAMMAR/SPEAKING ACTIVITIES IN CLASS?
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS/SUGGESTIONS?
Remember: This is a FREE space. You may remain anonymous if you’d like to.
Hope I can cater for your different styles
xoxo
Dani
