This first week is a chance to get to know one another and preview what is ahead. We'll start the week with introductions. We'll then move on to a discussion of the syllabus, classroom policies and procedures, and a look at what we'll do during the 1st semester. Thursday will be a day of pre-tests to help us figure out where we are and what our needs our this year. We'll wrap up the week on Friday with a brief history of the English language to show how our language is always changing and emphasize the importance of context whenever we speak, read, or write.
