The most common problems in teaching relate to: ? First Lessons - is critical that the teacher establishes rapport with the students to establish the tone for the rest of the course. Rapport is also important between students whether they are a totally new group or and existing group; and information about the students should be elicited. ? Warmers ? These are fund short communicative activities to increase motivation i.e. how to start a lesson. ? Different levels ? A balance must be found between stronger and weaker student in order to maintain the interests and motivation of both groups and this could be dealt with by ensuring that the more advanced students are kept stimulated through pair group of individual work. ? Large classes may require different techniques to ensure successful classes and that all students receive attention ? more use of worksheets and choral work would be examples of activities that could work for large groups. ? Use of native language ? it is imperative that English is the language used in the classroom. ? Reluctant students often this reluctance stems from a lack of confidence, so it is important to create a less threatening environment like utilising pair work. ? Difficulties with listening to texts these problems have to be addressed as listening is a ket receptive skill for ANY language.
