 Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
- Students may have problems to understand some instructions or what the teacher says. I will
paraphrase the instruction using gestures and miming.
- Some students may be shy to speak aloud. I will stay near them in order to make them feel
confident.
 Potential problems students may have with the language:
- Students may not understand a question, so I will guide them pointing modelling the answer
first.
- Some students may have problems to pronounce certain words or sounds. I will ask them to
repeat the words several times and to listen carefully to the way I pronounce them (how I use my
lips, teeth or tongue).
 Assessment: I will check that students comprehend and understand by listening to them during
their participation in the game.

As this is the last lesson that I will share with the students and that it lasts only 40 minutes, I
have decided to prepare a game in order to have some fun and, at the same time, revise the
vocabulary and structure learnt during these three weeks.
“Well, this is our last lesson together so we are going to play a game!”
I will prepare some flashcards or cards with food and drink pictures and some sentences to solve.
I will place the cards on the board facing the board, so that students can´t see what is behind. I
will divide the class into two groups and I will call a person from one group and he/she will have to
choose a card saying the number a letter, for example, 3 C. I will turn the card and the student
will have to say the correct word if there is a picture of food or drink or to build a sentence
giving advice. If he/she answers well, his/her group wins a point. Once all the cards are turned,
the group with most points is the winner.
“Let me explain to you how to play. We are going to divide the class into two groups, so this part
of the class is Group 1 and this part is Group 2. Look at the cards on the board, and look at the
numbers and letters here. I am going to call a person from this group and he/she has to choose a
card saying the number and a letter, for example, 3 C. I am going to turn the card and the
student has to say the correct word if there is a picture of food or drink or to build a sentence
giving advice. If he/she answers well, his/her group wins a point. Once all the cards are turned,
the group with most points is the winner. Is it clear? Do you understand? Great!”
Transition: “Are you ready? Let´s start playing!”

DearNatalia,
You have devised a nice gamefor this lesson. Why don’t you introduce some
