ALPs & Grades

This is a suggested teaching schedule. The teacher will determine the time allotted to each part of the chapter
depending on students' needs and responses. However, the teacher is expected to begin the new chapter
on the indicated day.
Do not forget to introduce the textbook to the class and explain how it will serve as a resource in helping
them to achieve their proficiency goals. In doing so, review the scope and sequence and show the learners
the topics and skills included. Walk them through one unit so that they can see how the book is laid out.
Please assign homework as needed (web search, vocabulary work, collecting inf. in advance, etc.)
