Course Structure
This course features 9 structured modules. Every module follows this format:
- Step 1: Knowledge & Comprehension – Watch a video and test your comprehension.
- Step 2: Vocabulary Acquisition – Learn vocabulary with flashcards and test your memory.
- Step 3: Put it into Practice – Practise your listening, speaking, & writing.
Step 1: Knowledge & Comprehension
In each Knowledge and Comprehension section you can either read a text or watch a video. For instructions on using the video player, see below.
Then you answer a set of questions and you must click Finish Quiz.
Next, you will see your results. If you achieve at least 51% you can click Continue. If you do not achieve 51% must Restart Quiz. If you want to check your answers, click View Questions.
At the end of this section you find Extra Activities. These are optional. In any case, you must Mark as Complete before you click Finish Quiz.
Step 2: Vocabulary Acquisition
In the Vocabulary Acquisition section you will find flashcards. Click on the flashcard to get the other side and click the arrow to move to the next flashcard. You can change the mode of study clicking the Choose a study mode button. You do not need to create a Quizlet account, but if prompted to do so, you may create a free account. Note:
Flashcards: You can flip through your cards with unlimited, full access.
Match: You can play the matching game as many times as they want.
Learn and Test: There are strict limits.
You may find that some words repeat in different sections. This is to help you to keep learning and not forget vocabulary. You may also find that sometimes a specific definition is given for the word because it is in a specific context, even though the word may have a wider meaning.
Next, you will be tested on the vocabulary in gap fill exercises.
Step 3: Put it into Practice
In this section, you have a series of optional practical exercises. The marks you receive do not count towards your final mark in the course. This is because it is a space for you to practise and not be tested. Make sure you mark each exercise as complete before clicking Finish Quiz. Tips for best results:
Listening part:
Headphones are recommended for the Listening part. The Listening part marks very strictly, you do not need to use punctuation, but you do need to use capital letters.
Speaking part:
A microphone is recommended for the Speaking part.Wait a few seconds before you start saying the words as your microphone may not be engaged immediately. Speak slowly and clearly.
Writing part:
If you do not want to write full sentences, you can also write down as many words as you can remember from the module.
