Winter holidays

Well, it has been a month since I last posted! Sorry about that; gradually I am getting myself organised and hopefully there will be more blogs in the near future.

I hope the homestays are going well. The students seem happy in class, so I take that to mean they are being well looked after.

The students are making good progress. They are talking more fluently and confidently in class - I hope they are taking this ability home and using it in the homestay.

The engineering classes are also going well. There is a lot of new specialised vocabulary for the students to learn, but they are coping so far.

The winter holidays are coming! Because of the special nature of the C.E.E programme, our holidays differ slightly from the rest of the Polytechnic students. We will be having normal classes from Monday to Wednesday next week, and then morning classes on Thursday and Friday.

There will be no classes between 5th - 16th July, but the classroom will be open and I will be here. The students are welcome to come in and use the facilities to study or relax.

Please remember that if you plan to go away, with or without your student, let Anna the homestay co-ordinator know as early as possible.

Once again, do not hesitate to contact us if there are any issues you are concerned about.
