Dear Teachers,
I am trainee Spanish Teacher at UL, completing a final year research project about Teacher’s perceptions about target language use in the classroom.
It would really help me if you would kindly complete a survey which you can access through this link;
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J8YC9LK
It won’t take long (about 10 minutes!) and is completely anonymous.
Thanks in advance,
Róisín Donohoe

Hi, everyone.
I’ll write this in English because I want to pass around this massage to everyone.
About the pictures in Oral section 3.
Did anyone find the actual pictures of last year’s paper?
I got info from students so I kind of know what were the pictures like,
however, I still can’t find where the resources are from or I can’t see the actual photos.
I’ll be great if we can share the info and pictures on this blog coming up to the exams.
I heard some students knew and had seen the pictures BEFORE the exam started in previous years.
It’ll be handy if students can see the pictures before hand or bring them to the exam like other subjects.
Japanese for LC is for complete beginners (even not half of the beginners Japanese) and
I think it’s too much to ask for describing and compare the pictures they have never seen.
Also, if some students can get the info before hand (somehow lucky enough),
why not for all the students?
Also, students who are doing the oral exam 2nd week get more benefit than 1st week,
since students have many quicker information tools to spread around.
So, I wonder, will I try my students bring their own photos and say
“May I talk about this?” in the exam.
or does it say somewhere “students are not allowed to bring their own photos”?
The important thing is “communication”, isn’t it?
I’d like to hear of your views.
Thanks.
