Course 2008-09
This year something special happened: we all decided to support the development of the brand-new website at the state-run language school EOI Getafe, so contributions that would have been published on Talking People have been published first at the School's website. In any case, students have given their permission for their reproduction here, but I haven't had enough time so far to get to that, so let me link meanwhile to where they have been published first. Enjoy! They're awesome/outstanding! :)
