We discussed the theory/film paper and worked on transitions to knit the paper together smoothly. The instructor showed students a list of transitions on the overhead document cam and asked them to go through their paper and add in about 10 transitions. Students were then to mark the transitions.
We reviewed a few papers on the overhead doc cam. The instructor encouraged the students to add new transitions to their vocabulary instead of relying on the ones they have already used.
The papers were handed in and the instructor will return with comments next week.
Next the instructor handed out a three-page listening exercise. We read the first page in class and then reviewed an example. Next we did a few as a group. We then broke into pairs and the pairs then practiced three exercises. Finally, we asked for volunteers to do the remaining exercises as role plays in front of the class.
The last item was the constructive complaint worksheet. Students volunteered their revisions to the complaints and we evaluated them as a class.
