Oral lessons with slide show; 2. interactive work with students during the lessons; 3. summary and evaluation of learning (the latter are not "in-progress tests" but only colloquial comparisons that are held at the beginning of each lesson and that serve the teacher to verify the progress of learning and the student to estimate his or her agreement with the program already carried out and his or her ability to intervene on these topics).
