Frequently asked questions

Do I need to send my topic work to my tutor?

In the topic pages, you will be directed to complete exercises in Allez 1 and Allez 2. You do not need to send these to your tutor. You will find the answers for these exercises in the answer sheets which are included at the end of each topic on Canvas.

Can I take the assignments in any order?

We recommend that you take the assignments in the order of the course. We understand that you may wish to pursue a particular interest in a subject but we would recommend that you approach the assignments in the correct order.

Do I need to take the assignments in test conditions?

No. All of the assignments in the Year 8 course should be approached as open-book assignments. The assignments are formative (also known as 'assignments for learning') which means that they form part of your learning and they do not need to be taken under test conditions.

I am worried about the speaking assignments. What should I do?

Remember, speaking is a skill which develops over time. Don't worry if you find it challenging at first, as this is totally normal. The more you practise, the more confident you will be. If you have any unanswered questions or worries about the assignment please message your tutor who will be able to advise you.

Where can I find the answers to the textbook questions?

You can find all of the answers to the Allez 1 and Allez 2 questions at the end of the topic page on Canvas.

What happens if I get stuck?

Have a look at the topic page on Canvas: have you read all the relevant information and completed all of the tasks? There are optional resources to help you along the way. If you have read through all of the resources and are still unsure of something, then go ahead and email your tutor with your question. Your tutor will be very happy to help.
