Unit 15 discusses the purpose of evaluating and testing students as part of an EFL course, as well as giving some basic information on prevalent external examinations for which students might be interested in preparing

When facing a new class for the first time, it is important to get to know your students for a variety of reasons; - what is their current level of English - what is their purpose for wanting to learn English (through a needs analysis or an informal chat) - what areas are they finding most difficult - perhaps their interests which could be later incorporated into a lesson - and to build a good rapport so that interaction readily happens

Some tips for teaching beginners I found helpful: -don't try to move too quickly -be as visual as possible -give clear, simple instructions -use choral rep and pair and group work -ask a lot of questions -encourage students to speak English in class as much as possible and as a teacher avoid using the students' mother tongue -focus on what is easy, not what is difficult -explain your methods Suggestions for teaching individual students I found helpful: -use activities from course books -maximize on the students' interests and experience -free conversation is not something for a whole lesson, there should be an objective to the lesson to deliberately teach the student new things -make a combination of what the student wants and what the teacher thinks he/she needs thinks important to keep in mind when teaching children: -lots of repetition -postive responses -always use English as language of instruction -reward them for good work and behaviour Things to bear in mind when teaching English for specific purposes I found helpful: -analyse in the beginning the needs of the students -find out what materials will be available to use at the company -find out as much as possible about the company and the work your students are doing

The unit is devoted to the selection and the use of coursebooks, supplementary materials and activities
