This is the forum where all of the 800 students from my two groups will participate in discussions. The things to be discussed will be posted each week on Monday evening and all students will have one week or until Sunday night at midnight to post without losing grade points. Participation here is for 10% of your final grade and late comments will not be counted.
The purpose here is to help each of you learn through self and peer correction. Do not use language that is inappropriate and please avoid the use of slang. This class is to improve your level of academic language and prepare you for your professional use of English. I will be reading your posts, but I want you to correct the errors of your peers and in the process you will be improving your level of English.
Things for discussion: what you are learning or struggling with in class, the book we are reading, the activities we do, the LOST series we are watching, movies we see; basicly anything that goes on in class!
Please begin by introducing yourselves, what you are studying and what you plan to do with your English skills.
