The Homework Tasks below contain more than 6 hours of
self-study. Your classroom English teacher may suggest you do some of these for homework,
or you could choose those that interest you.
Some of the tasks listed below should be done in the Centre
for Independent Language Learning (CILL). You will need to join CILL by doing an
orientation which takes about 20 to 30 minutes when the CILL teachers will explain to you
how to use the centre effectively.
It is a good idea to keep your work in a folder so that you can show it to your teacher
if you have any questions, and for reference if you want a CILL
attendance certificate. For this certificate you need to write a short essay detailing
what you have learned.
