David Lean and James Stewart


Have a look at this link, where you can find the films that will be shown in Valencia (La Mostra).
An important British filmmaker, David Lean was born in Croydon in 1908 (U.K.). Some of his films are based in literary works (Charles Dickens, Noel Coward, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster).

On the other hand, James Stewart is the well-known Hollywood movie actor whose films we have enjoyed so much.

Do you like films in V.O.?


Would you like to see Happy Go Lucky on Wednesday 21st at 12.00 h. in UGC?
If so, bring 4 euros on Friday or Monday to book your seat. That's the price of the ticket.
This will be an activity outside the school which will be the basis for other classroom tasks, so try not to miss it!

Diagnostic Test

Today we have been doing a Diagnostic Test in the Multimedia Room. The DIALANG test has five parts:
Listening
Writing
Reading Comprehension
Grammar
Vocabulary

At the end of each test, you have to press "your level", and you shall know what is your level in each one of the required skills.
As the test is quite long, try to finish it outside the class. You can download the dialang programme from the website.
Then, when you know the results, tell them to your teacher. Thanks.
This is useful to know where you are and how much work you need to reach the required level in NA1 (B2A)

Listen to a bit of history
