ASSIGNMENTS - the details...

DAVESLL

To understand the weekly forums assignments better, see the weekly forums tutorial demonstration.
I will post a link in the transcript below.

ENGLISHCENTRAL

This is the class page on the EnglishCentral.com Website.
On the top left you can see your class code in red letters.
Under that on the right you can see the time period for doing your assignments each week when there is a class.
You don't need to do any assignments when there is no class.

Next you can see your class goals.
There are four class goals listed here.
Three of them are important for you.

Overall progress.

For each class, please make this 100% or more.
When you get more than 100%, you will get a participation bonus.
The higher percentage you get, the more bonus points you can score.
These bonus points are added to your weekly forums score to make your participation grades

EnglishCentral participation bonus + weekly forums participation score = participation grade

Watching videos is not a part of your course grade.

Learning vocabulary

Learn 50 words or more.
When you learn more than 50 words you will increase your overall progress bonus.
Your homework grade is based on your completion score for learning vocabulary.

Speaking lines

Speak 50 lines or more.
When you speak more than 50 lines you will increase your overall progress bonus.
Your coursework grade is based on your completion score for speaking lines.

Speaking evaluation

Try to copy the voice of the speaker in the video.
Speak English with a natural fluency, intonation and emphasis and you will get higher scores.

The secret is...
- choose short, interesting and easy to understand videos
- don't look at the subtitles
- make your voice sound like the voice of the person in the video

Your tests grade is based on your speaking evaluation scores on EnglishCentral.com

DEADLINE

I will send the class schedule, tasks and deadlines information to your university email.

That is the course outline for EnglishCentral Academic membership.
