IMPORTANT: This page is rather like a blog where I posted mostly links to other materials for my students. It is a project that started in early September 2016. If you find a mistake or a broken link, please inform Juan José, who is responsible for this page. You can read here about the flipped classroom, a method of work which we will often use this year, and whose main features will be explained in class. TIP: use CTRL+ or move the scroll wheel while you hold down the CTRL key to make the text bigger and easier to read. |

Why do this? Learning a language (even your own langugage) is a constant process of trial and error. Errors must not discourage you, but you must pay attention to identify and correct them, in order to learn to avoid them in the future. Don't feel frustrated by repeated or basic errors: some basic things like using "his" and "her" or the final -s will probably cause you trouble all your life when speaking English. The important thing is being able to avoid them when writing. If you get used to looking out for these mistakes when writing, you will find it a bit easier to avoid them (or correct them) when speaking, too. |
