Materials


Straightforward, Intermediate Student Book (B1+) by Philip Kerr and Ceri Jones, p22
2 Soundtracks taken from the same book.


Previous Strengths

 Active, dynamic and enthusiastic group of students eager to learn and share
 Good elicitation
 Some good checking of instructions
 Logically staged
 Clear stage aims
 Supportive detail
 Realistic timing
 Clear and logical plan with very good detail

Previous Areas to Develop

 Get SS into groups to decide who the people are to increase STT
 Reduce/stop running commentaries
 Reduce/stop echoing
 Do not write in capitals on the W/B
 Reduce my voice volume
 Being more S-centred rather than T-centred
 Reduce T.T.T.

,Classroom Management – Anticipated Problems and their Solutions

 This group is quite involved in the lesson(s) and may sometimes overstep the
mark. T must not lose control of his students and use this overflow of energy
to improve STT

 A few students are different from the other in terms of fluency, pronunciation
and work speed. We might provide multiple activities for students to work at
their own rate.

 Students might not understand every single word when they listen to the
soundtracks. T will use strong students to elicit the words or provide them
with a transcript at the end of the activity.


 The classroom gets very hot and stuffy in the afternoon so T may ask them to
move to the classroom next door in order to keep them energized
