Diario de un Profesor de Inglés
Para mis alumnos y visitantes. Ayuda para el autoaprendizaje de inglés.
Acerca de
My name: Paco Bazaga Calderón. I am a teacher of English at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid (Jesús Maestro).

Business English together with my interest in the Internet and computers determines the birth of this blog weBLOG.

I would like to try the chances of bringing the Internet into my lessons as a first step towards the promotion of autonomous learning of English among my pupils and the visitors here.

Also, I think this tool may well accompany my pupils in their weekly lessons as a walking stick in the mountains. In it they will find support, ideas, additional contents, etc. to the lessons.

Though it is my pupils and my lessons that I usually bear in mind when writing here, visitors are also welcome to join in and send any comments they find suitable.

Thanks in advance to all of them for their interest in this site.

9 - 4 - 06 BACK TO HARD WORK, SERIOUS!
INCOTERMS INCOTERMS INCOTERMS
Incoterms and international commerce

INCOTERMS are very important when negotiating with third countries -those outside the EU.

They set out the conventions ruling mode of transport, insurance, quotations and payment.

You will see how useful they are if you visit the link above, see title.

As time is pressing on and the number of lessons left does not seem to be enough to cover all the activities planned, let me ask you to do the activity on page 19 of your Marketing and Sales handout.

It consists of redrafting an agency agreement from the notes made beside it. See the instruction above:
"Now look at the notes which...."


We will be checking your redrafted contract next Thursday or -exceptionally- on Friday if we can make the necessary arrangements for an extra lesson on that day.
