Beginner - ✔✔Grouping levels: ___________s are on a steep learning curve. This
means that you can see progress within each lesson, as vocabulary and grammar takes
root.It is important for you to plan and structure lessons to help keep students'
confidence and motivation high.
,When you are planning a lesson for ____________s:
• Ensure that they will leave the class having learnt at least one new thing - whether
this is an item of vocabulary, a new phrase or how to conjugate a verb.
• Include quick reviews and activities to help students see the progress they are
making.
Intermediate - ✔✔Grouping levels: _________ level students have already
accumulated the knowledge that they need to speak English. However, they need to
learn to manipulate it in order to move onto the next level. Learning at this level is less
obvious and more students give up at this level than at any other.
When you are planning lessons for __________ level students:
• Use a clear structure, showing what you will be teaching each week, month, term and
year. This will help students to see where they are going, and reflect on how far they
have progressed.
• Set your students challenges: give them short tasks to see if they have learnt enough
to analyse and manipulate a piece of language.
Advanced - ✔✔Grouping levels: ____________ students are trying to get to the heart
of the language. You need to help them to explore the depths of meaning and the
subtleties of the language, such as turns of phrase, inflections in the voice, colloquial
expressions and inference in what people say and write.
When you are planning a lesson for ___________ students:
• Spend time exploring their interests. You can then build quite complex activities
around these areas. For example, you could set up a political debate, review a specific
piece of medical research, or discuss whether a player should move to a new football
team.

and colloquial expressions.

• Have lots of opportunity for the class to demonstrate their knowledge of the world
and what's of interest to them

lives that you have no idea about, and may be prone to occasional mood swings,
shyness and over-exuberance.

lesson will:
