Dear B1+ students; welcome to the Fall Quarter 2017

Dear B1+ students,

      Welcome to the Fall Quarter 2017. As per our class discussion, I hope that everyone now has a gmail account that is required to access the Blogger.com service. There will be a training session this first week of classes to familiarize all of you with blogs and how to write your posts and publish these via this tutor blog.
      I realized from our class discussions that most of you already used blogs (which is great) so after the training session and starting from this weekend, I expect everyone to start writing in response of the writing prompt that you find on our blog.
     
                                                       Thank you.
                                                        K Layali
