Fact:
This week, over 50% of students required repetition of information already provided in announcements. Conclusion: weekly announcements are ineffective as a communication tool. Action: discontinue weekly announcements; issue essential briefings only, posted in your Learning Space task list; responsibility remains with the student. 1. Missed classes If you’ve missed a class, here’s the updated booking form with available slots. Just a quick reminder: even if your missed slot was 45 minutes, you’ll only see 30-minute options on the form — but you’ll still get your full 45 minutes. The form is just structured this way for easier scheduling. 2. Quizlet test After our first round of Quizlet test, and I have to say — well done to everyone who’s been so systematic with their sets. A few tips to keep it tidy: – When definitions are too similar, add the first letter as a hint. – If it’s an idiom or phrase, mark it clearly or mention 2/3 words – If some words feel irrelevant or overwhelming right now, you may remove up to 10% from your revision set only. (100 words → 10 deletions max.) 3. Bits & Bobs
This week’s Bits & Bobs mix language, reflection, and something sweet: – On my ❤️English blog, you’ll find a new post in the Pragmatic Communication series — this one explores anger: what happens to us linguistically when emotions hijack reason, and how words can help us take back control. – On my Rosemary & Lavender blog, I’ve shared a tomato cake recipe — with both a longer, storytelling version and a shorter one for quick reading. Perfect for a cozy autumn weekend. – Abby is back in her Learn English with Abby series, teaching a brand new word — available on both Instagram and YouTube. |
