Welcoming paragraph:

Hello my dear students. I would like to welcome you all to this new experience,
first of all by letting you know that you can always count on me for whatever you
need through-out this process. I am sure we will have a lot of fun and also learn
many interesting things.

Methodology:

• As you already know we will be developing our classes online. For which
we will be using the platforms Teams and Ferrum.
• I will schedule meetings every week through the platform Teams.
• I will upload all the information regarding the classes on Ferrum.
• Every unit I will share with you on Ferrum a self-study guide, such as this
one, with different activities in order for you to work on autonomously.
The guide is divided in 4 stages.

Stage 1: Warm-up.
Stage 2: Topic presentation.
Stage 3: Practice. INTERACT App
Stage 4: Project.

• We will cover each aspect of the guide each week on our meeting on Teams.
