Students will be able to experience and reproduce the English language through authentic oral and written texts. These come from audios, videos, and readings (e.g., informal conversations, news, lectures, song lyrics, etc.) which they will review in individual, pair, or team work. The teacher's main role will be that of facilitator, while the student will be an active and responsible participant in their learning process. During the course, the development of learning strategies will be promoted through techniques such as debates, conversations, discussions, playful activities, analysis of texts and audios, using a variety of interactions, authentic materials, and ICTs. ## Assessment Weekly activities (assignments, quizzes, and TOEFL grammar exercises) - 55% Grammar ePortfolio & reflection (Reviewed each unit) - 35% CAADI Worksheets - 10% Due January 17, 2025, March 10, 2025, March 31, 2025, May 5, 2025, May 26, 2025 **Notes**: 1.-The minimum passing grade will be seven (7). 2.-To be eligible to pass the course, attendance at least 80% of the sessions is required. 3.-It is desirable that the participating teachers answer the course evaluation instrument, the link to which will be available on the educational platform starting January 23.
