Achievements

The students actively participated in all classes. At the beginning of the meetings, they were shy due to lack of confidence and perhaps fear, but with expectations of what the tutorials were going to be carried out. Some of the students participated very little and others never attended the invitation on several occasions. The majority of the students attended all the meetings. In my opinion they achieved the following achievements:

• They left the fear of communicating and making mistakes. At first they worried a lot about what they should and how they said it, but as the days passed the fear was lost and this makes them easily expressed.
• Grammar is important but in the classes this happens in the background because the important thing is to express their ideas making good use of the language.
• Good pronunciation is a big problem. They were step by step correcting their mistakes and in fact among themselves they helped each other to have a correct pronunciation.
• The classes were based on different topics that help them to express their different opinions and feelings about the topics presented, a great achievement is that they lose the fear to communicate and express what they feel.
