,Anticipated difficulties: Suggested solutions:
Theme/Topic related difficulties:
Grammar learning might not be interesting to learners of this age Here I can change the text part where learners might lose interest,
and show a video instead or give them more activities that will get
them to participate
Class Management difficulties:
Although students are at an international summer school to learn In this case giving the specific learner a goal/responsibility eg.
better English, this might not be their parents or caretakers. Seeing Group leader, where he/she must collect worksheets or reporting
that it will usually be the parents/caretakers paying, students might to the rest of the class, might give him/her a feeling of
not be as encouraged to partake, and in a class of this age group, responsibility, and leadership over a group that might also interest
some students might get disruptive him/her more, thus being less disruptive
Shy students Ask students to work in groups, for students to have a chance to
rather work with their fellow students than with the teacher
Try to get students to speak up in groups with friends, rather than
to individually select them to speak in front of the class
Different levels of students in the same group Vary the activities planned, prompting weaker students in more
writing/speaking activities
Vary feedback and corrections given, where I will give the weaker
students more information and how to correct them, whereas the
stronger student less information, encouraging them to figure it out
on their own

, Pair weaker students with stronger ones in groups of two, for the
stronger students to help the weaker ones
Grammar difficulties
Students might get confused between “would” and “wood”, which Ask different questions between the different words and show the
has different meaning and form, but is pronounced exactly the difference in meaning and use.

Language difficulties:
Russian students tend to make verb tense errors and have difficulty Here I will focus on the simple grammar rules chart that I created,
with singular and plural nouns and make copies for them to take home and learn
Russian students have difficulty in pronunciation where consonants Here I will introduce the phonemic chart and focus on sounds with
such as /t/d/r are present (used to) and sounds with /v/ or /w/ /t/d/r/v and /w/
(would) http://www.macmillanenglish.com/pronunciation/phonemic-
chart-in-british-english/
Students a=will also get homework to practice the sounds at home
using the phonemic chart
