3.  Possible problems and possible solutions: the most important problem
could be timing. It is very difficult to calculate the time for each activity since each
group is different and works at a different pace. Perhaps, if there are students who
finish early, the teacher can give them any other dynamic activity or game up to the
moment the rest could finish their tasks.

information about the development of language skills
