HELPFUL STUDY HINTS sec. 001, 002, 003

As we enter the expressive interviews and final exam I have a few last minute tips to help you prepare and to calm your nerves.

Expressive Interview Tips:
*Interviews are conducted how?
*arrive on time for your interview (Monica's will take place in the language lab)
****late students or no shows will not be allowed to make up


* upon arrival each student will select a dialogue from you book from the basket
* Take a minute to look over the dialogue and sign to self
* Each student must complete each dialogue twice
*Students will be required
to complete both people in the dialogue. You will take turns completing the
dialogues.
* select two topics from the basket (the student that selected the topic is the
only one responsible to complete it.
* answer questions that I ask related to your topic
* DONE!

**********DO NOT GET NERVOUS WHEN I WRITE THINGS DOWN, I AM WRITING AREAS YOU ARE EXCELLING AS WELL AS AREAS YOU NEED IMPROVEMENT********************

Helpful hints: review all dialogues in your required text
*watch the DVD from you text book, all dialogues are demonstrated there
*sign along with the DVD
*underline all vocabulary in dialogues that you do not remember
and review them again several times
* BE SURE YOU ARE USING FACIAL GRAMMAR
* Go to the tutors for help they are more than happy to help you
* Review with a partner
*pay attention to symbols in your dialogues
