Speaking and Listening 2 Class, Spring 2015

Below you will find information about my Speaking and Listening 2 class. You can find homework assignments and links to important information. If you want to listen to some passages from the book, please go to the Agape Listening Lab.

At the top of each day's entry below you will see a number followed by a letter, either "a," "b," "c," or "d." The number refers to the week number of the session, and the letter refers to the day of the week. "A" is Monday, "b" is Tuesday, and so on. In the homework assignment section of each entry you will also see the homework assignments preceded by numbers and letters. These numbers and letters indicate the due dates of the assignments.
