First Proficiency English class

The way i spend the first day of class will set the tone for the entire semester. In the academy there used to be a relatively common practice of devoting the first class meeting to reading the syllabus to the students and then, after answering questions about the course, either beginning to lecture or dismissing the class early. Alternatively,there are many things i can do on the first day that will help establish rapport with students, set

norms and tone for the course, prepare students for the semester’s work, correct any misperceptions

about the course, and generate excitement about the subject matter.
