ABOUT THIS COURSE

In this course, you will improve your reading and listening skills mainly. Every week you will get a worksheet of the MS Word file in which you must fill with your answers and submit it at the end of every classwork. In addition, some of you, in turn, will be divided into small groups and take my English lesson during each classwork.
