Hi Dani!
I hope this year we write a lot of writings, read stories, carry out oral presentations and so on and so forth. What I like most of this subject are the oral presentations, creative writings (stories, narratives), learning new vocabulary (which I hope I remember for my day to day life ;P) and having interactive classes which I find fun and entertaining (also easy to follow and learn from them).
I hope this will be a great year!
Luna
It will!
Hi, my name is Rocio Hartmann and I’m also looking forward to a fun year together! We’ve already had some great classes and I’m positive we’ll have many more! I too think we should definitely watch more movies. 😉 Thanks for sharing this presentation, it was a neat way to present the subject and the goals for this year.

Hi, I’m Gonzalo Vazquez Avila and these are my expectations for this year in Language:
Though I know we’ll be writing a lot of complex essays and short stories, I’d like it if we didn’t fall short regarding our speaking skills, and that we keep on making oral presentations like we’ve been doing so far. Also, I’m looking forward for groupwork and fun activities, and hope that we’ll be analysing many interesting stories. But I wouldn’t want all of this work to stop us from watching at least one good movie 😛
I appreciate this presentation very much, for it answered many of my questions and it will be useful for me to prepare for the international exams.
🙂 I’m sure we’ll cover most of what you pointed out. I hope we do have time to watch a film together. If not, why not at least devote a class to discussing a film that you’ve watched at home, right?
Hi, i am Nicolas Monguzzi. I am looking forward to become better at language, especially at writing, because I am not very good at it.
I also think that if we watch movies in English without subtitles, we would become better at listening to other people and we would understand almost everything.
I agree! Are you trying that out? I could recommend some films…

Hi! Im Joaco
I have big expectations for this year, I hope that Language will be a very fun subject as it has always been to me. I would like a lot to watch tons of videos and movies in class which help us to learn. Also it would be great if we practiced a lot our oral skills which I find very interesting!
You ooze positive energy. That’s the way to go! We will watch a video or two, but you can always suggest material or search for it to further your studies.
Hi, I`m Jose Catani, I`am very excited for this new year! I would like to improve my essay writing and also learn more vocabulary! Last but not least I would like to get really prepared for the IGCSE so that I make a good exam.
Thank you!
Let’s work on that then! You’ll do great.
Hi, I am Bauti Olaizola and this year I expect to improve my skills in wiritng essays because I am not very good. I also want to get ready for the IGCSE test to be very confident.
Some tips and you’ll be an expert. It only takes hard work and drafting.
Hi! I’m Flor Araya and I agree with Delfi on what she mentioned that she would like to work on this year. I would also like to become more confident while giving an oral presentation, but mostly, I look forward to learning appropriate language to each context, as mentioned in the presenation, and to practicing for the IGCSE since I usually get very nervous too! Also, I read your post on how to comment in blogs and found it very useful 🙂 Thank you!
That’s great! Any suggestions to improve on that post (on blog commenting)?

Hi I’m Pancho! I liked the style of the presentation for language, it’s dynamic. This year i look foward to improve mi speaking as well as vocabulary. I found vocabulary essential for all the writings and the IG’s. I also find essential practicing and concentration, which will lead to succes.
Checked! You’ll have that and more…
Hi I`m Luli Giambruni and I look foward this year to get ready and prepared for the IGCSE Language examination since I’m a little bit nervous. In additioon, I think it would be great if we went on an excursion alltogether, it would be fun. I’d also love us working with technology such as with the computers or cellphones. Really hope to have a great year!
Don’t be nervous! We sill have a long way to go, eight months actually. It’d be lovely to go on an outing all together. Where do you suggest?
I hope I can often find a way to include technology in the class. If not, your ideas are always welcome.
Hi, i’m Delfi Miy Uranga and im looking forward to achieve all this year’s goals very excited. What i would like to do also, is improve my speaking skills, since i’m very shy when I have to present an oral. Also i would like to practise a lot for the IGCSE so that when we have to sit for it I’m not as nervous and insecure as I’m now. Thanks!!
We’ll work on that, then! There’s no need to feel insecure. You’re a great student and you’ll achieve all your goals.
🙂

Hello, I am Bruce Donald, interested on the objectives which are in the presentation and I realy want to achieve them but could we practice speaking and writing more formal?
Hi, Bruce! Thank you for your comment!
We’ll all do our best to reach the goals set for this year. Writing and speaking in a formal register are part of our syllabus. So, don’t worry! We’ll soon get to that!
