Dear (name)

Welcome to your online English course. My name is …….. and I will be your tutor on this course. This means that you can send your written tutorials to me and I will correct them.

You can read some information about me and see a photo of me if you click on “My Tutor” on the platform.

About the course

You have access to a complete level which corresponds to 10 units a mid and a final test.

We recommend you try to complete one unit a month. This means that you need to spend about three hours a week on your English course. However, you can work faster if you prefer.

To begin the course, click on unit 1 of the course and go into the section “Start”. Once you have finished the “Start” section, continue with the next section “Reading” etc.

In each unit there are two writing tutorials (Tutorial 1 and Tutorial 2). You need to write your tutorials on a Word document and send them to me as an attachment using the mail system on the platform. I will send you my corrections and comments in the same way.

The course is assessed in the following way: each writing task is marked (tutorial 1 is out of 10 and tutorial 2 is out of 20). There is also a test at the end of each unit (section 15) which looks at your vocabulary (mark out of 5), grammar (mark out of 5), your functional language (mark out of 5), listening comprehension (mark out of 5) and reading comprehension (mark out of 5). The mid-level test at the end of Part A of the course will give you are mark out of 50 and the end-of-level test is also marked out of 50. This is the way we calculate your result:

Writing work (10 units): total marks: 300

Vocabulary (10 units) total marks: 50

Grammar (10 units) total marks: 50

Functional language (10 units) total marks: 50

Listening comprehension (10 units) total marks: 50

Reading comprehension (10 units) total marks: 50

Mid-level test total marks: 50

End of level test total marks: 50

Total: 650

You need 60% to pass the course and download a certificate.

If you have any questions before you start the course, or any problems during the course, please send me a message on the platform. I will try to answer your message quickly.

Could you now send me a message to confirm you have received this information?

I hope you enjoy your Net Languages course.

Best wishes,
