and write using the Spanish language. The main purpose of the course is to
teach students to understand and to speak Spanish as a medium of
communication through a good pronunciation and solid vocabulary.

House Rules

discipline and camaraderie inside and even outside of the classroom. As facilitator of
learning process, I would like to make clear the following matters once and for all.

A. Work Ethics

1. Exhibit full responsibility and accountability of your learning
process;
2. Exercise real responsiveness and resourcefulness of your self –
learning procedure;
3. Show personal discipline and determination in accomplishing given
learning tasks; and,
4. Finish tasks on time or as scheduled.

 2. Attendance will be checked but there’s no weight given to it. Being absent
doesn’t mean an excuse or exemption from any assignment, quiz, activity, etc.
Any reconsideration for anything missed (quiz, assignment, or activities) will
be under the discretion as your teacher.
3. Business transactions should be limited and done only at the office and
classroom during official time. Submission of any requirements or outputs
should be submitted at the office. As such, no one is allowed to submit
anything in our house.
