TEACHING AND LEARNING AT THE POLYTECHNIC Your classes in Australia may be quite different from learning in your previous country. Teachers too have different styles of teaching. Y ou will be asked to work with a partner to practice speaking, you will be asked to work in small groups and to move around the classroom. Sometimes your teacher will ask everyone to listen together. Sometimes the teacher and st u dents go out to practi s e their English skills in the community. Your class will have regular sessions in the FLC and computer classroom. Teachers choose activities and exercises from different sources and often use worksheets rather than single text books. You can help your learning by collecting and dating your worksheets and organi s ing them in a display folder for future reference. English classes are usually taught around themes or topics about living in  Australia which you choose in conjunction with your teacher and which are designed to aid your settlement. You can help your learning by actively participating in all classroom activities and by using English at home and with your friends. We hope you enjoy your classes with us because learning should be fun! At the end of each course your teachers will ask for your opinion of what they are doing in class. Pl ease be honest in your evaluation. ← →
