We will use the digital textbook Avanti 5e (ebook) by Janice Aski. Students will need to purchase their online textbook (through a link provided by the teacher) and to activate their Zoom account (available to Loyola University students for free). Since the course will be held entirely online, it requires students to work independently and follow a very structured syllabus. Each day everyone will be involved in a variety of online tasks, such as reading, listening, completing exercises, posting writing assignments, and recording responses on Panopto or Voicethread.
