SAC

Hello. I am writing to get soem opinions about SAC. I think that they are realy useful because students can get extra practice after classes. The problem that I face here in Mexico is that most of my students are not interesten in getting extra practice due to they are at university and they only wnat to get a document to get the degree. So they only try to pass the exam. About elementary school. Most parents do not speak English and say that it is not realy important that a child learn a second language.

Hi

That sounds like a familiar situation! I've always been a big fan of self access centres, but there are other ways students can practise their English. A lot depends on what kind of technology your students can access - can they get the Internet at home, do they have games consoles? If they do, it would be interesting to find out if they ever use English language sites/music/games in their free time...
