Language Training

IALF
22 September 2009
We have to attend IALF from 08:00 to 13:00, Monday to Friday for language training. The pace of the classes is very fast with a large amount of vocabulay covered each day. Each day we play some form of game in two teams to revise what we had learnt the day before. My team normaly wins but this is becasue I am paired with Sam who is brilliant rather than any language skills of mine.

The school has an excellent resource centre that I use most of the afternoon. There are computers with internet access and langauge resources on line. There is an audio visual room with more learning material and then an extensive lending library. We get given a large amount of material each day but I am making the most of everything I can lay my hands on to help to reinforce the classwork and to help with the homework.

I seem to be putting in a lot more hours than the others and barely keeping pace but at least I am learning something.
