Warm September brings the fruit, | or from Keats: Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? |
The holidays are over and we hope that everyone is energised at the start of the new academic year and ready to boost those language skills that we know need some attention.
Our archives are growing ever bigger and we are developing material more thematically to help you find the exercises that you need!!
Don't forget that spending just 10 minutes a day on some of our daily exercises will help you broaden and improve your skills.
Murder Mystery
Thank you to all who have signed up so far. We still need 5 more people before we can get the game started. If you would like to join in then respond to this email or send a message via the common room network
We would like to get it started in the next week so don't delay!!!
We are ready to go as soon as we have a full team!! It should be fun and you will receive grammar and vocabulary lists connected to investigating! It won't take up too much of your time and you can pace your own activity.
The Events Calendar
We hope that you have seen this. All the themes are in the calendar for the rest of the year. We look forward to exploring these vocabulary areas and have found suitable listening and reading passages to accompany each one.
Look out for more events and participative activities linked to the themes.
Daily 'fix'
Just to remind you, this consists of a new word, grammar exercise, news listening and reading, writing or reading exercise.
Choose one or two for a short burst of practice or do them all for more sustained practice.
Remember 'practice makes perfect' and 'little and often' is a good strategy when developing skills.
Finally
We want to hear from you! Post messages on the pages, on the common room message board or send us an email. Add to our Virtual Weekends wiki or the Haiku - (more of these coming soon)!
Your suggestions help us to improve the site.
