This section has important assignments that give you the opportunity to synthesize the entire lesson and to practice all that you have learned. Here, you will often find three different types of assignments: writing practice, oral practice and chat room practice. The writing practice are short paragraphs based on the lesson’s theme or messages, so that you can build your writing skills; in oral practice, you are given prompts to do one-on-one conversations with your professor or a native-speaker assistant – to use the grammar and vocabulary you have learned in real contexts, as well as to make voice recordings; chat room assignments ask you to practice a little more with your classmates, to use the language creatively! As you can imagine, for the first few lessons, your oral conversations and chat room will be short, as your vocabulary is limited, but as you progress, these sessions will extend to twenty and thirty minutes.
