Hiya,
This year I am in charge of a new group of pupils. They are about twelve and thirteen years old. I think it is a very good group. Besides, they usually participate a lot in my lessons. They, well, some of them, try to speak in english and that is the most important. If you never try, you can never know how good you can be in english.
I would dare to say that if they go on studying this way, when this group finishes ESO, more than 50 % of them will be competent enough to keep any conversation.
bye 4 now
