Community
Every student is
different, but we are like a family. We
learn from each other. We use kind words
when we talk. We do not laugh at each other, but we do have fun. We are like a soccer team; we help each other
so that we win! We work hard together.
Supplies
Our book is called Stand Out:
Student Book 1 (2002). The
authors are Stacy Lyn SABBAGH and Rob JENKINS (Heinle and Heinle,
The bookstore at
BCC sells the book. We use the book in
class and for practice at home.
I give many papers
for homework and for practice in class.
You need a notebook or folder for class.
Put all papers and homework in your folder.
Bring your book to
class. Bring paper, pens and
pencils. Bring your notebook.
If you bring a cell
phone to class, please turn it off or turn the volume down. It is not polite to talk on the phone during
class. If there is an emergency, be
quiet and go outside to talk.
Speaking English
We will do a
speaking test at the end of the quarter.
Try to speak English in class:
- Sit with people who do not speak your
first language.
- Find a partner who speaks a different
language than you.
At the end of
class, write about speaking English in your folder:
“Tonight I spoke
with Juan in English.” or “Tonight my partner was Ling. We spoke
English.”
Folders
Some important
papers stay in your folder all the time.
Do not take these papers out:
Attendance sheet, ARM sheet, Goal sheet, writing. Put other papers in your own notebook.
Circle your
attendance each day. Write about our
work in class.
Homework
You must practice
at home if you want to speak English. Do
your homework and put it in your folder.
I will write on it:
4 or + Excellent. No mistakes.
3 or ü+ Good.
1 or 2 mistakes.
2 or ü Okay.
Practice more.
1 or ü- Too many mistakes! You need to work harder.
After I mark your
paper and put it in your folder, take it out and put it in your notebook.
Progress
You need to make
progress to stay in class. Progress
means that your English is better; you can speak more, understand more or write
more English. To make progress:
1.
Come to
class.
2.
Listen
to the teacher. Listen to other
students.
3.

work in class. Work with your
group. Talk with your partner.
4.

You can stay at
this level for 3 quarters. No progress = No class next quarter. Tell me if you have a problem.

class 3 days = no class next quarter

emergency and you cannot come to class, call me at 206.841.8148. If
you cannot come to class anymore, tell me; it is very important!
