We have now completed 3 weeks of term so you should have started your self study blogs/folders/notebooks/portfolios. Remember this is worth 25% of your final grade so it's important that you do a little bit of work on it each week. I have set some tasks as homework but these are things that you should also do each week for self study. By next week, your self study work should include at least 2 or 3 of the following tasks:
VOCABULARY
Choose 8 words/phrases to learn each week and do something with them - e.g.
- write example sentences
- note their pronunciation
- note their collocations
- put them in a lexical set with words related to the same subject
GRAMMAR
Work on your tenses by analysing short articles from newspapers, magazines and the internet.
Read the text quickly and get the general idea.
Highlight the different tenses - why has the writer used these tenses and not others?
LISTENING
- Choose a film in the English language that you have already seen.
- Select a scene (about 5mins) and watch it without subtitles. Mak a note of things you don't understand.
- Watch it a second time with subtitles - note any new vocabulary or features of fast connected speech.
- Watch the same scene a third time without subtitles. Can you understand it better now?
- Write a short paragraph in your study blog/folder about the film you used, what you found difficult and what you learned from the experience. Is your listening improving? Why/Why not?
