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
Break up the listening text into parts for
better understanding
