You can submit your summary in the vault below (but it probably makes more sense if you do it after the peer reviews, whose primary purpose is to get useful feedback that will help you improve your work)

Study material for the seminar

There will also be in class presentations according to the schedule below:


LLL (Language Learning Log) Reminder


Please remember to start working on your Learning journal / LLL.

Tip: You can include new vocabulary that you have come across or you are processing.

About 10 words per week (for a total of over 100 by the end of term) are advised. The words or reflections in your log may be from this course or any other English text or experience you may encounter during the semester. 

Your list of vocabulary can be processed in any number of ways: translation from your mother tongue, definitions, usage in a sentence, synonyms, antonyms, pronunciation, word families, etc.

You can also include some reflection on your learning (encountered during  / or outside the seminar classes). For example, you can include some reflection on your group mini presentation (the preparation phase, team work and the actual delivery).
