Groundrules

ENGLISH COURSE GROUND RULES


1. I will arrive on time. Class starts at 7:50 a.m. and finishes at

10:20 p.m.


2. If I arrive late, I will try to not interrupt and I will sit quietly.

Later, I shall show an excuse to the teacher. If I arrive late class

three times, I will fail the course.


“I’m sorry. I’m late. I apologise”


3. If I don’t attend a session, I will update myself on the relevant

issues I missed and I will present the teacher a task that has to do with the class topic. I I miss three

classes, I will fail the course.


4. I will participate with enthusiasm to work in groups or

perform didactic activities.


5. I will activate the English languages as much as I can

(reading, listening and interacting with challenging input) The library and the ICT are great resources!


6. I will try to avoid the use of Spanish to the maximum. I will express myself

using the English language as much as I can (classroom language is very useful for that purpose). Spanish will only be

used as a last resource.


7. I will be a good listener: not interrupting when somebody is

speaking.


8. If I need to talk about a relevant issue related to the course, I will raise my hand.


9. We all contribute to create a good atmosphere. I will respect

myself and my classmates.


10. I will encourage participation to increase motivation.


11. I will encourage a positive attitude towards collaborative

learning: responsibility, patience, tolerance and creativity will

always with me.


12. I will take risks and I will be tolerant to frustration. I won’t be

punished by giving my money away for every mistake I make.


13. I will contribute to keep the classroom clean and organised.

Not generating extra noise.


14. I won’t eat during the class period.


15. I’ll always have my book and notebook updated.


16. I shall submit my tasks handwritten and not in

photocopies. A few exceptions apply for large worksheets that the

teacher permits to submit in photocopies.


17. If I have a mobile, I will turn it off or put it in vibration mode. I can call or be

contacted after the class. If I know somebody needs to contact me for an emergency, I will let the teacher know

about it before the class starts. I can only use the mobile in class when I need to run an application that facilitates my English

learning


18. The blog will contain songs with lyrics that I can practise at home. I

will practise the songs that the teacher can present in class and I

will also suggest what song we can sing in class.
