P2P EFL/ESL X


This is a class of 29 11th grade (6th form) students attending the literary/economic series at the Franco-Brazilian school in Sao Paulo. The level of English is heterogeneous, from lower-intermediate to advanced and our school year goes from February to December. We meet 3 times a week for 50 minutes and one of these classes is in the computer lab.

Meet us at Flickr and we would like to invite you to exchange ideas in our group Holiday Surprises and Everyday Scenes

Here are the links to our individual blogs
