What if …………?

¿ What if students are all at different levels ?

# Use different materials. While one group is working on a piece of language study (e.g. present continuous ), the other group might be reading or doing a more advanced grammar exercise.
# Do different tasks with the same material. Where teachers use the same material with the whole class, they can encourage students to do different tasks depending on their abilities. A reading text can have questions at three levels.
# Use the students: peer help and teaching so the better students can help weaker ones.

¿ What if the class is very big ?

# Use worksheets.
# Use pair and group work..
# Use chorus reaction.
# Use group leaders.
# Use the size of group for your advantage.

¿ What if students keep using their own language ?

# Talk to them about the issues.
# Only respond to English use.
# Create an English environment: use signs, pictures…etc..
# Keep reminding them.

¿ What if students are uncooperative ?

# Talk to individuals.
# Use activities.
# Enlist help. Talk to colleagues.
.
¿ What if students do not want to talk ?

# Use pair work..
# Allow them to speak in a controlled way first.
# Use acting and reading aloud.
# Use role-play.

¿ What if students do not understand the listening tape ?

# Introduce interview questions or role-play so that they can predict what is the listening going to be about.
# One task only: straightforward task, which does not demand too much detailed understanding.
# Play the first segment only.
# Use the tape script: it can be cut into bits. The students put them in the right order as they listen.
# Use the tape script 2: the tape script can have words or phrases blanked out.

¿ What if students in groups finish before everybody else ?

# Provide them with some spare activities ( little worksheets , puzzles…..etc )

# Plan extensions to the original task so that if group finished early, they can do extra work on it.
