Hi, everybody! I just wanted to tell you that I WILL BE DICTATING IN THE 1st EXAMS AFTER THE WINTER BREAK. So, I need you to let PHONETICS I, II and III sudents that I will be giving office hours on WEDNSEDAY, JULY 6th, from 10:30 to 1pm, and on FRIDAY, JULY 8th, from 9 to 12. Then, I'll let you know about the office hours after the break and before the Exams. Thanx and SEE YOU! :D

THE SO PROMISED KEY FOR TRANSCRIPTION

I have already uploaded the key version to the wiki. Please, check it.

LISTENING MATERIAL FOR PRACTICE

For those who want to practise some listening before the listening assignment, if you go to the Cambridge site (http://www.cambridgeesol.org/), you should consult the section called: Teacher Resources, ang log onto the Resources by Exam, FCE, HAndbook, sample papers, etc. There you will find the kinds of exercises we are going to solve in our listening assignment. Remember that this 1st assignment will be assessing LISTENING FOR GIST (that is, general information, not specific details).

NEWS

HI, EVERYBODY! I'm sorry I couldn't go to the Friday class. I know we needed so much practice and that you had prepared the reading with rhythm! Anyway, I just wanted you to know that Professor Gargantini and I will be leaving further material for transcription practice. This material has been taken from a very up-dated magazine and we are pretty sure you willl like it. You will find information on current issues. I'll be uploading the transcription keys for correction this afternoon.
I hope you have a very nice weekend!!
