How long does it take you in the morning before you're firing on all cylinders?
What do you think you would most enjoy listening to outside of class to help you practice your English? We saw some ideas on page 3, but what else can you think of that would give you more exposure to the language?
How will you practise the 'recall' of new language that was discussed on page 4? Some ideas discussed were vocabulary notebooks and portfolios.
