Unit 20 covers a collection of common issues that a tefl teacher may face in their classrooms and gives some advice on how to deal with these problems. The issues include things like how to manage large classes and how to deal with differing abilities among students.As I was uncertain about how the previous unit treated the issue of use of the students’ native language, I was glad that Unit 20 returned to this issue and gave more detailed explanations of how to minimize use of their native language by the students without lose of understanding by some students. I found the recommendation to only respond to English interesting. It will certainly force some students that want to communicate to resort to English to do so. On the other hand, I also feel that only responding to English (in situations where the teacher could respond in the native language of the students) Before rapport is built with the students or in beginner classes could also encourage some students to stop trying to communicate and shut down completely. In a class of adults with strong motivation this will likely not be a problem. But in a class of children with little to no prior experience it could be. On other note, I think that the recommendation to have extra practice or activities available for quicker students was very good. Invariably, there will be quicker students on certain tasks, and such materials can also be used for students that simply want extra practice.
