STUDENT STUDY GUIDE To get the best out of your English course at the British Council Madrid Centre, it is important that you revise and study out of class. The following is a list of activities which we recommend you do yourself at home as a minimum. Your teacher will probably set additional activities as homework tasks, as well as written work.
Each column lists activities which will help you revise and consolidate language from each unit of your course book, and provide reading and listening practice on relevant themes.
1A The first and second rows identify activities in your workbook and CDRom, while the third lists material available in the Library (see MMC Menus for a more extensive list). The fourth and fifth rows identify material available on the British Council Madrid Adults’ Student Portal and other internet websites.
