Anticipated Difficulties
Meaning
Suggested solutions
Students may not know the meanings of some
of the words from the listening text
Students may not know how to pronounce some
words as some sounds may not exist in Greek.
Some activities might take longer than planned
for as the listening text is quite big.
There could be a technical hitch. Projector not
working
Try to pre-teach some of the words
Give handouts of words that might be a
problem for the students along with their
meanings
Form
Phonology
Management
Learners
Model the sounds clearly and help the
learners say the words using phonemes. Ask
the Ss to repeat the correct pronunciation
individually
I will plan my lesson by adding some more minutes
for each activity. I will also have an extra activity in
case I have more time than needed. In case I run out
of time, I will skip one activity and give it for
homework. Make handouts of P/P presentation
Ls might have a problem with the listening for
detail exercise as the text is quite long.
They might also have a problem with the
meanings of some unknown words
Pre-teach vocabulary

better understanding
