Teachers will inevitably face various obstacles in the classroom. It is handy to be aware of the common problems in advance and prepare for them accordingly. First lessons present a unique situation for both teachers and students. Regardless of whether the class is new or an existing one, the teacher should not go straight to the course book. Instead, the first lesson should be used to build rapport and get to know the students and their needs. Some classes have students with varying language levels. The teacher can use different materials or tasks for different students. Large classes can also present challenges. It can be difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Worksheets can be useful to ensure participation. Breaking the class down into pairs or groups is also effective. Reluctant students shouldn't be forced to participate when they are uncomfortable. Instead, the teacher should encourage them to participate in a way that will suit their personality, often a role-playing game. I have personally encountered all of these common problems in the classroom. This unit has given me more insight into how to address and handle problems in the classroom.
