NOTE: All the links are accessible through your learning space.
The link to the March challenge is in your most recent self-study section. The VOCAB BOOSTER posts section EXTRA in your learning space. Any problems? Give me a buzz. With March just around the corner and the promise of spring in the air, it's time to embrace new goals and challenges. Let's quickly run through them together.  MARCH CHALLENGEWe bid farewell to our February Small Talk Challenge as we usher in a new endeavour for March—our Video Watching Challenge. The goal is to immerse ourselves more in spoken language, and to achieve this, I encourage you to select one out of three videos each week to discuss at the beginning of our lesson. While I'll aim for shorter videos, luck may not always be on our side. In such cases, watching a snippet will suffice, though I'll provide specific timestamps for longer videos indicating the minimum required viewing. Also, if you have any ideas or links to YouTube videos you think are worth checking out, don't hesitate to send them my way. Your input is always valuable to me! VOCAB INPUT THIS WEEK and PLANS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKSThis week has been really productive vocab-wise, and I just wanted to quickly run through what I've got for you.
In March, I'm aiming to provide at least one additional vocabulary post each week. If you'd like to receive notifications via WhatsApp when these posts are published, please send me a whatsaapmessage with the phrase "March input yes." Please note that until the end of March, updates about new posts will not be shared on my LinkedIn page or anywhere else. STUDENT MEETUP PROJECTA week ago, I reached out to gauge interest in a student meetup, and I was pleased to see many of you express enthusiasm with a "YES." However, I also took note that some chose not to respond, and one person politely declined. In subsequent discussions during our lessons, I revisited the idea, recalling our past "buddies program" where students were paired up for English practice sessions. While I find such collaborative learning invaluable, I've decided against moving forward with the meetup project at this time. The decision stems from valid concerns about privacy that were raised by some of you, which I genuinely respect and consider paramount in our learning environment.
That being said, if any of you already have an English buddy—whether another student of mine or someone else—and are interested in pursuing activities together, please feel free to reach out. I'm more than willing to support such initiatives in a manner that respects everyone's comfort and privacy. Your feedback and concerns are always taken seriously, and I appreciate the opportunity to address them openly as we continue to navigate our learning journey together. |
