WORKSHOPS FOR B1

As I told you in class, during this term there will be workshops to help you improve your speaking and mediation abilities. I deeply encourage you to attend the one on Wed 13 and the one on Mon 2nd December. And, indeed, if you're fond of films join the film club on Tu 10th December. They're worth it!
