Level 2 Listening and Speaking Infomercials
|
Students in teacher Carolyn Bierma's level 2 listening and speaking class created infomercials and decided to share them with the level 4 students. On Thursday, April 2, both classes got together to watch the infomercials, and the level 4 students voted for the best video in a competition for the best infomercial. The prize was a free week of speaking Log.
During the meeting, they shared snacks such as popcorn, cookies, and drinks. This way, everyone together enjoyed the fun videos. It was a great experience, full of fun and teamwork between the two classes. The level 2 students did an excellent job creating fun and innovative products full of creativity.
The winning team was the infomercial “The Broomer,” created by the students Rama and Anabel. Congratulations to the winners and to the entire class.
If you’d like to watch the infomercials, I invite you to check the links below.

Course & Student Services Evaluations
Every semester, the Tutorium researches to improve our program. We get information from teachers and students. To collect this information from students, we use online surveys near the end of the semester.
Next week, you will complete a Tutorium Course evaluation and a Student Services evaluation. Your teacher will tell you when. These evaluations are online, and you can complete them on your computer or your phone.
These evaluations will ask you about your learning experience. Because these evaluations are online, you can change your answers only before you click the "Done" button. You can also write comments, and we encourage you to do so.
After the semester ends and we have sent you your grades, our director and your teachers will look at the evaluations, and the Curriculum Committee will also study the information for the whole program.
Thank you for helping us improve our program and participating in this evaluation system.
Do you have the Blackboard app on your phone?
