If you are taking the class for credit, you should let your teacher know as soon as you can.

You will have three hours of teaching per week. Completion of set homework and preparation for classes is also a course requirement.
To benefit from your class, it is important to prepare thoroughly, participate actively and complete homework.
During your class, you will work on improving your skills in the following areas: grammar, listening, reading, speaking and writing. We want you to enjoy the classes and take an active part.
