  1. Teacher tells students about the school habits. Emphasize that students must speak only English inside the classroom. If they don't understand something, they should ask in English the meaning of a lexical item. Highlight that the classes start at 6.15 pm and finish at 7.30. Ask them not to arrive late. Tell them that SS who don't miss any class, will have extra point in the end of the term. Explan SS the score distribution during the term. Don't forget to focus on Cambridge Examinations (PET), which they will be able to do in the end of intermediate. Tell them about other Cambridge examinations.
  2. Writings – Students must have a notebook where they do their writings, which, after corrections, are supposed to be rewriten.
  3. Homework – will be seen by teacher after a file. As soon as they finished a file, they are supposed to do the homework. Tell them they have the workbook's key. DO NOT COPY THE KEY. Student's problems will be analysed in group.
  4. Game – SPEAKING ACTIVITY – LEARNING A LANGUAGE, by Lindsay Clandfield (check file)
