Unit 20 presented common issues that may come up in a classroom setting and how to work through them. I paid specific attention to the first lesson is the most important lesson and is vital in establishing a link between teacher and students. This is also a center of my anxiety. How exactly to proceed from the first lesson on. Depending on whether the students are familiar with each other or not will show me how to proceed. If they familiar with each other it makes it a lot easier to establish rapport between students. I learned that a course book is not used on the first lesson and rather my time should be spent learning about the students individually such as, what is their individual english language level, what their aspirations are within english, and areas of difficulty they have faces thus far. Once this is known, warmers such as dictionary, tongue twisters, memory games can be done to motivate the class in the beginning of each proceeding lesson. I look forward to my first lesson and how it will unfold.
