We are looking forward to your group presentations Monday 2nd and Wednesday 4th June.

Remember to consider your reflections, to be handed in at the end of your group's talk:

I contributed to the group at the planning stage by…:
I contributed to the presentation by…:
I was pleased with the way I…
I would like to improve the way I…

Remember also that attendance means being there for other group presentations. A discussion needs an audience.

Welcome to the blog

Hello to you all and welcome to this group's class blog.

Here you will find resources for the class, including links to help you with both your English language skills and with topics that come up over the semester.

Some already know each other, others are new, so please, introduce yourselves to the group with a brief biopic about your interests and what makes you tick! Photo too, if you have one. This one is an homage to John Lennon, in Prague - a public graffiti space. It is an intriguing collection of messages starting from 1980, crossing history and change.
