vocabulary.
1. B2 students may encounter unfamiliar food-related vocabulary eg. “main course” or
“dessert” – might be new to them. 2. During class activities, I will pair 1 confident student with 1 less confident student. In this way
I will be able to see that all students are participating throughout the lesson.

difficult for less confident students to participate in class activities. 3. I will ask as many CCQ’s as possible to make sure that all students understand the vocabulary

3. Students may struggle with the pronunciation and words with two or more syllables ,eg. Main
