Welcome Back!

 Welcome back to the new semester of Spring 2024!

Happy New Year!
I hope you enjoyed a restful vacation.
If one of your goals is to master the English language, you are in the right place.

This semester I wish everyone success in your endeavors. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together, and you will remember our class as an enjoyable experience. At the same time be prepared for the new challenges and hard work.

Good luck!

Do not forget about School-wide Learning Outcomes (SLO's):

• Effective Communicators
• Lifelong Learners
• Problem Solvers

I also would like to mention that besides the textbook, you will need 2 (two) notebooks: one - for everyday activities (exercises, grammar, notes, etc), and another separate notebook - for vocabulary only. In this other notebook you will write the new words that you will need to memorize.

For example,

New word	Part of speech	Pronunciation	Translation/explanation
Garment fetch	(n.) (v.)	[ʹgὰ:ment] [ʹfetʃ]	Piece of clothing (prenda de vestir) (名) 衣服, 外表, 衣裝  Bring (traer) (动) 拿来; 去请...来, 接...去; 去拿...给; 售得, 卖得; 取物; 绕道而行; 取回猎物

I'll see you in class!
