You started off the lesson with a fun warmer. Only problem: the reading and language focus in the middle of the lesson are very sedentary, so you'd like something more active as the last task. What do you do?, There's a teenager who keeps slipping back into L1 with their partner at the back of the classroom. What do you do?, You planned a lesson around speaking, but learners keep finishing all the tasks you set very quickly. They're quiet and shy. What do you do?, You have noticed that 2 sts do not get on. You can see it from their faces and body language. They keep finishing the activities early. How do you fix the situation?, You've done 2 pairwork speaking tasks followed by open class feedback. You're about to do another pairwork speaking task and get feedback. What can you do differently this time?, Students are going to talk about what they did yesterday as practise of Past Simple. You want to monitor to check accuracy but you also want everybody to have enough time to speak. How do you set the task up?, One group of 3 is really struggling with a gap-fill exercise you set from the coursebook. Other groups have nearly finished. How can you save the day?, You decided to finish on a high note with a mingle activity. However, several students are standing around awkwardly waiting for a new partner to become free. What might be the problem?, It's a group of 3 and 1 student clearly dominates the conversation. The other students are too shy to step in. How do you handle the situation?, You work in a language center and let's be honest - a group may have a VERY weak student compared to others. How do you organise pair / group work so that everyone could benefit?, You notice that your 60-year-old student doesn't feel very comfortable working with a 20-year-old student in pair. What do you do?, As you monitor, you notice a pair chatting about something unrelated to the task. What do you do?
